You'll need SP4(?) or SP5 to run FW-1 on Solaris 8 (32-bit only!!!). However you can't install SP4/5 if FW-1 so here is the trick: edit the "InstallU" installation script. Uncomment the section that checks the Solaris version:
[...snip...] OS_TYPE=`uname` #if [ "$OS_TYPE" = 'SunOS' ] ; then OS_REV=`uname -r` # if [ $OS_REV = '5.8' ] ; then # clear # echo "WARNING:" # echo "Solaris 2.8 is not supported by Check Point 2000, Service Pack 2." # exit 1 # fi OS_TYPE=`uname -p` #fi [...snip...] Now you should be able to install FW-1. Make sure to upgrade IMMEDIATELY to SP4 or SP5. Note/disclaimer: I only tested this with the management console! Since the firewall module will probably make changes to the kernel I'm not sure what will happen. So make sure not to start the firewall or reboot the machine before you upgraded to SP4 or SP5!!!!
