In general touching /etc/profile is not required, how the default PATH in Solaris is too limited to be useful for desktop users. PATH should contain things like, /usr/sbin, /usr/ccs/bin, /usr/sfw/bin, /usr/X11/bin, /usr/gnu/bin for a good out of the box experience on the LiveCD. Otherwise users won't find half the commands in the default environment and will quickly form a negative opinion, esp. Linux users. IMHO a properly setup PATH is important even on the installed system. Regards, Moinak.
