That might be true, but if he is one of the (at least to my knowledge) very few working on SPARC Solaris descendants, wouldn't he still a) deserve support and b) indirectly help OI/Sparc in the long run? Cheers Stefan Von: Saso Kiselkov

Hi, if you are using SFE on top of OI and you have system/library/orc installed from SFE (e.g. you are using ffmpeg or mplayer), then either set sfe repo as non-sticky or uninstall system/library/orc from SFE before upgrade. system/library/orc is part of OI distribution now. After update to a9,

Hi, I found an interesting fact about the flash player problem (151a8,a9): If you manage to right click the menu entry 'About Adobe flash player' while the video is loading, but before it plays (you have to be fast...), the video will first crash, but a second tab opens and shows the Adobe flash
