Hi all,

I have been reading man pages and googling for some examples but I am
still not sure if it's
possible and if not how I can achieve this.

Problem: I have two flash images, old.flar and new.flar that I created
using flarcreate. No problem
so far everything went right and I have installed several systems using
jumpstart and the old.far
image. Now that I have the new.flar image (I have installed some extra
software) how can I build
a differential archive using those two images ?

All the examples I have found are using some live system as reference
(for "old" or "new") or
using lumount to mount some boot environment, but I can't find any
examples simply using two
.flar files !?!?!? Am I trying to do some impossible thing or did I miss
something !? I can of
course use the "new" system as live reference but I cannot figure out
how to use the "new.flar"
image file instead. The -R option of the flar-command expect a directory
not a flar-image file :((
Anyway to "mount" a flar-image file !? Tried using lumount but this
seems to be of those boot
environments and not flar-image files.

I found that page:
http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=23995&messageID=86138
but I am by the way getting the same errors about fdo :((

Any help appreciated, or good URL:s I can read (and have not already read).

Many thanks.
Regards,
/Pascal
