Hi Michael, yes, it should be possible to get this happening from the Installer. If you're SX_DE_ then you would need to hit <alt><tab> (iirc) to get to the terminal session and run that update_drv command. (Yes, it's the same driver btw). If you're using SX_CE_ then you should just be able to right-click anywhere on the desktop and fire up Terminal. My understanding is that once those bugs are integrated, you won't need to do any of this manual update_drv stuff at the installer since it should all Just Work(tm). Docs-wise, the system admin collection is a good place to start: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/47.23 likewise for the release and installation collection: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1236.2 cheers, James C.
