i spent my afternoon doing nothing

not really.

 ian [15:24] if you're doing sol10sparc installs, please make sure this is in your /etc/default/init file (please):  

 TZ=US/Eastern  
 CMASK=022  
 LANG=en_US.UTF-8  

 ian [15:24]   and make sure these packages have been installed:  
 ian [15:24]   SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs SUNWnamos SUNWeuluf  
 
 ian [15:24]    if you run this: /usr/sbin/pkgchk SUNWi1cs  

 ian [15:24]   it should come up with NOTHING  

 ian [15:25]   and that's been my afternoon.  

 ian [15:25]   making nothing happen. :grinning:
