Just downloaded S 9 4/04, and am installing on brand new Sun V480.

Chapter 3 of the "Release Notes Supplement for Sun Hardware" says (in the
"Other Issues" section):

Network Drivers Installed by Default

The Solaris Installation CD automatically installs the network drivers from
the Supplement CD. Drivers for the SunATM and SunHSI/P cards are now
installed by default when the Solaris 9 4/04 operating environment is
installed. Error messages might be displayed if you do not have some of the
corresponding hardware installed. You can ignore these error messages.

Our machine does not have either of these cards, so I am inclined to do what
seems obvious to me, and that is just deselect these drivers during
installation (using Web Start). Since I don't see this mentioned as a work
around, I'm wondering if there is some hidden reason why I should accept the
default installation, and then ignore the subsequent error messages (as the
Release Notes suggest).

In other words, why shouldn't I act to prevent the cause of the annoying
error message, rather than just ignore it after the fact?

Thank you.
