Maybe one should wait a few days.  Update 9972 was previously released and 
pulled on June 5.  It also required 9925 at that time, but it wasn't in the 
download directory a few days ago where 9972 was.  The 9972 released today 
is the same one released on June 5 as that is the date in the ftp 
directory.  9925 is now there and dated July 19.  I would like to see some 
explanation from Sun/Cobalt before installing this one.
