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

It's the latest on the Express downloads (last time I looked,
anyway). There are no patches as yet for 10. Fixes go into
the next released build, and you can "Live Upgrade".

Don't know about the rest of your questions.

It's the most recent beta release, but is still a beta, so there are
no patches and will not be any. When the final release comes out,
patches will be made available that apply to it, but you'll need to
upgrade from previous beta/express releases to the final release before
you can apply them to those.

That's SOlairs Express 11/04, technically not the same thing as
Solaris 10 which has not yet been released.

There are no patches for Solaris Express releases. It's also no tthe
final release which will be out shortly.

No, that's the proper filesystem; are there any messages in
/var/adm/messages?
