Essentially take anything from Solaris 8 and run it on Solaris 9 or 10 or Solaris Express or Solaris Express Community Release and just don't expect kernel modules or drivers to all "just work" but almost everything else will. So .. take from the old and go to the new and you will find most everything runs. > Note that none of Solaris 8, 9, or 10 are actually Open Solaris, so > this question doesn't belong here.

Pushing someone off based on this sort of thing is less than inviting. Dennis _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
