OpenSolaris :: TIME OUT

• doing pkg refresh always give me "time out" message

root@opensolaris:~# pkg install sunstudioexpress
Creating Plan -                        
pkg: Maximum (4) network retries exceeded during download. Details follow:
Transfer from 'http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release' timed out. (happened 4 times)

• Below workaround worked for me (nevermind about root user , default is to use pfexec as normal user). There are 2 environment variable which are PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT and PKG_TIMEOUT_MAX
  

root@opensolaris:~# bash -x pkg-install.sh
+ export PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=220
+ PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=220
+ export PKG_TIMEOUT_MAX=100
+ PKG_TIMEOUT_MAX=100

OpenSolaris 2008.11 (Final)

• Reinstalled again on my aging machine (dinosaur). The machine is Dell PowerEdge 350 with Pentium III 850Mhz , 1 GB of RAM , 80 GB of hard disk , ATI Rage XL graphic cards and 2 x iprb NIC's
• Installation is a breeze and within few clicks you are done !
  
• Saw the little "Update Manager" icon appeared to inform new upgrade available and wait for moment (7 mins actually)
• can always check the boot enviroment via the package manager GUI or via command line
