Re: Firefox


Interestingly, I run Solaris 9 (never bothered to upgrade, but I may move 
to 10 one day) and use Firefox 2.0.0.20 since that appears to be the 
latest version for which pre-compiled packages were produced and made 
available quite a long way back now.

I do note that my Toughbook PC's that run WinXp have all wanted to 
download and install FF7 and it does seem to run sort of ok, but with lots 
of tabs open it slows down and eventually locks up.

Never had this happen with 2.0.0.20 on this system (my SunBlade 1000) - it 
just crashes completely when it's had enough and usually will not save any 
of the previous history information to re-load the tabs when I start it up 
again.

Re: Firefox

I'm running FF6.0 on my Sun Blade 1000 (Sol 10) and all is fine. 
Occasionally pages cause FF to bomb, but not too often.
I am in the process of setting up a Blade 2500 (Silver) which I put FF 
7.0 onto and all was fine (Sol 10)
The biggest issue is always getting the right Java plugin and figuring 
out the best place to put it given the jre/jdk convolution of files and 
folders

i'm still on s8, and given the patch situation not likely to favor
oracle.  i'd consider openindiana if they ever produce sparc builds.

i have occasional fantasies of building newer stuff like ff, but
chasing the list of prerequisites and building them quickly adds up to
a lot of hours...

my xp machines are all still on ff3.6; got tired of being on the
bleeding edge...  i presently have 9 ff windows with about half a
dozen tabs each.  3.6 doesn't have a problem.

i'll probably move up when support for it ends, following the trailing
edge of the ff ecosystem.

pkgsrc can automate this for you. Cite:
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/software/packages.html
The NetBSD Packages Collection (pkgsrc) is a framework for building
third-party software on NetBSD and other UNIX-like systems, currently
containing over 8000 packages. It is used to enable freely available
software to be configured and built easily on supported platforms.

Until you discover something that needs python and then pkgsrc fails.  All of the python packages in pkgsrc
are broken at least on sparc.  They segfault during compile.  Anything that depends on python will then fail
to install.  I've tried a dozen times on my IPX to get python to compile so I could install scons which would

Re: Solaris 8 patch 112438-03 /kernel/dev/random

Hello Jerry,

Unfortunately, I don't have that patch to share with you.

But, I can share that back in the day (pre Solaris 9), and before the
patch you are referencing came out, there were 3rd party /dev/random
devices available for Solaris.

For what its worth, if you are not able to find a copy of that patch, I
might suggest you look here.

Hope this helps.

Jerry

Will the L180 documentation on 
<http://www.shrubbery.net/~heas/sun-feh-2_1/Systems/L180/docs.html> and 
specifically the Operator's Manual

<http://www.shrubbery.net/~heas/sun-feh-2_1/Systems/L180/documents/L180_Operator_Manual.pdf> 
help?
