Hi, i was in a discussion and i was asked for the output for prtconv -pv and thought that i had to install solaris just for doing an prtconf. Then i was told that there IS a prtconf for sparc (Available in redhat 6.0 for sparc). Its a simple straightforward tool. I would package it if i would be a

Kernel 2.2.12 compile problems on SS2
