Blindingly Fast Upgrade

Blindingly Fast Upgrade

In the OpenSolaris world, a Blindingly Fast Upgrade (BFU) or Bonwick/Faulkner Upgrade or "'Big F'ing Upgrade", is a process used to upgrade a subset of a Solaris system's binaries using cpio archives instead of full software packages.cite web |url=http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/devref_toc/devref_5/ |title=Installing and Testing ON |accessdate=2007-10-10|date=2006-04-05|publisher=Sun Microsystems, Inc.] BFUs are not a recommended method for end users to upgrade their systems but the OpenSolaris developers and enthusiasts wanting the latest features on their machines use this as a fast way to upgrade the bits on their machine.
