So I'm stuck in London at ULCC doing a Solaris 8 re-install (don't ask why) on a SunFire V880.
The joys.
First, a cut down (ie. faster) install failed because it hadn't installed awt, needed for the installer to continue and install the second CD.
Next: why do Solaris Patch Sets take so long to install?
Why isn't DiskSuite installed by default?
Why is so much other stuff started by default?
Where is /dev/(u)random? My OpenSSH build needs this and it's gone off on holiday somewhere...
I know Solaris 8 is old now... Let's hope 10 is saner. (Bet it won't be).
