You can try to update the core parts of the operating system using "bfu". The latest one is b67, available here: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b67/ It works something like this: - download "ON Specific Build Tools" (SUNWonbld.i386.tar.bz2) http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b67/SUNWonbld.i386.tar.bz2 uncompress / unpack it and add it to the system with pkgadd bunzip2 < SUNWonbld.i386.tar.bz2 | (cd /tmp; tar xf - ) pkgadd -d /tmp SUNWonbld - download "ON BFU Archives (non-debug)" (on-bfu-nightly-open-nd.i386.tar.bz2) http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b67/on-bfu-nightly-open-nd.i386.tar.bz2 uncompress / unpack it bunzip2 < on-bfu-nightly-open-nd.i386.tar.bz2 | (cd /tmp; tar xf - ) - Run "bfu" to update the system using the "ON BFU Archives" that you've download and unpacked I'm using something like this =========================== #!/bin/csh set path=(/opt/onbld/bin $path) setenv FASTFS /opt/onbld/bin/`uname -p`/fastfs setenv BFULD /opt/onbld/bin/`uname -p`/bfuld setenv GZIPBIN /usr/bin/gzip setenv ACR /opt/onbld/bin/acr bfu /tmp/archives-nightly-open-nd =========================== - When "bfu" is done upgrading the system, run the command "acr" to automatically resolve configuration file conflicts - After "acr" is done, use the command "reboot" to restart the system - which should now be using the updated core OS.
