Default Solaris 10 questions...

Hi,

We've got Solaris 10 (11/04) running on a Sunblade 1500, and I have a
few questions.

First off, is this the right version to be running? Are the patches
available? Can't seem to find any on Sunsolve.

We've hooked up a couple of 300GB Maxtor OneTouch firewire/USB2.0
drives to it. These drives seem to appear okay if hooked up via
USB2.0, but the firewire detection seems to be very flaky, or am I
doing something wrong?

When using a USB flash disk, the Sun identifys that its there, but
will not let me mount it up, even when specifying a pcfs filesystem
type. Is there a better vfat/fat32 filesystem type I should specify?

When using the Solaris Management Console, if I clock on the Enhanced
Storage thing, it never actually comes up - it just hangs around
saying that its loading. Anyone else had this?

Network printing. The new printer administrator looks like using
non-postscript printers such as the HP-1220C is going to be a doddle.
But I'm just wondering if anyone has successfully set up a printer to
print via a Netgear print server, or has had success printing to an HP
Laserjet with a Jet Direct card.

Thanks for reading this and for any advice.

Paul
