Well, so much for html postings:( Let me try again for the /etc/release of Solaris 10: Solaris 10 8/07 s10s_u4wos_12b SPARC Solaris 10 8/07 is the official media name s10s is Solaris 10 SPARC (s for SPARC and x for X86/64, ie s10x) u4wos is the update release, update 4 in this case 12b is the build number for the update release. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
