Hello,

I must have a weird browser. Nobody seems to have seen the
dowloadPatch.pl behaviour so far. It was recommeded to use
ftp://sunsolve.sun.com/pub/patches/ and download the zips directly.
Thanks to all that gave this hint. This worked for me. I was able to
apply 2 of 4 patches on my list The other patches led to

bash-2.03# patchadd 114814-01

Checking installed patches...
One or more patch packages included in
114814-01 are not installed on this system.

Patchadd is terminating.

So they couldn't be applied although the installer claims they are
missing. How can I find out which other pacthes have to be applied
first for a given patch. This seems to become a cumbersome experience.

Can anybody provide me with a list of necessary steps to get GNOME 2.0
installed on a Solaris 8 02/02 installation (no patches applied yet)?
The question actually is exactly which patches need to be applied to
make the GNOME installer happy?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

   Andreas
