Do Not Use a UTF-8 Locale When Installing the Solaris 8 or Solaris 8 6/00 Operating Environment

If you install the Solaris 8 or Solaris 8 6/00 operating environment while using a UTF-8 locale, the UTF-8 locale does not interact properly with Java^TM software in the installation process, and the installation may fail.

Workaround: Use the corresponding non-UTF-8 locale to install the Solaris 8 6/00 operating environment. After completing the installation, apply patch 108653-08 to ensure proper interaction between UTF-8 locales and Java software.
