Wargo does a rant (was Re: [geeks] Cool Mac deals...)

[Ken Hansen]

>From the Sun website:

Note: This is the 04/01 update of the Companion CD and corresponds to the
04/01 update of the Solaris 8 Operating Environment. Proper installation has
not been verified on previous updates. Freeware for previous releases of the
Solaris Operating Environment, as well as a number of packages that are not
on the Companion CD, are available at http://sunfreeware.com, an independent
Web site maintained by Steve Christensen.

Opps - should have RTFWP (Read The Fine Web Page) - I was not sufficiently
sensitive to the 4/01 label.... The issue was the installer, the packages
worked fine on my Solaris 8 system.
