You know, I *really* wish Sun would move all the "nifty extra" stuff that
came with Solaris 8 (GNU file utils, GNU / extra shells, etc) to the second
CD and put the "base essential" stuff back on the first CD, so you could
have a one-cd install if you wanted...

(WebStart install for that 2nd cd is SUCH a pain in the ass; it takes
 4x as long as doing pkgadd...)
