A bit off topic but I heard you could install Solaris 8 over a previous version and not have to reboot to get the new kernel to take effect. Anyone know if thats true? Sounded pretty cool to me. I ussually find www.sunhelp.org very helpful - I don't if that says alot or little. I figured I would mention it. Although your budget sounds large if you need GNU code prebuilt I ussually use www.sunfreeware.com - you proberly know this already, but figured I would pass it on anyways. They have GCC pre built there. Good luck with it, Anthony On Wed, 24 Jan 2001, David Kramer wrote: > My next project at work will be porting our application from Solaris 7 to > Solaris 8.
