Beginning with the Solaris Express 10/05 release, all x86 based systems must now have at least 256 Mbytes of RAM to run the Solaris OS.

StarOffice Patch Application Requires Additional Steps

The following patches are applied to the Solaris OS to resolve StarOffice^TM problems that were reported in CR 6234855 and CR 6262830:

• For SPARC based systems

  • Patch ID 119412-06

  • Patch ID 119906-03

• For x86 based systems:

  • Patch ID 119413-06

To completely resolve the reported problems, perform the following steps after applying the patches. These steps enable you to use StarOffice 7 Product Update 5 software to open, for example, those OpenDocument files that were created in StarOffice 8 software.

1. Become superuser.

2. Issue the following command:

   # update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

3. Log out of the system and then log in again.

SPARC: Loadkeys Warnings Appear When System Is Booted From Solaris OS DVD (6329642)

When you boot the system from the Solaris OS DVD to install the Solaris software, the following warning is displayed:

/sbin/install-discovery: /usr/bin/loadkeys: not found

Consequently, keyboard mappings for autodetected keyboards are not automatically loaded during the boot process.

Workaround: None. Ignore the warning message. You can continue to install the Solaris software on the system even without the keyboard mappings. After you have completed the installation, these mappings are automatically set when you reboot the system.
