Sun Studio 11 installation questions - patches, java
I am preparing to install Sun Studio 11 on a Solaris 8 Sparc box.
The doc says that the install will install the required OS patches. One of the patches requires a reboot.
1) Will the install initiate the reboot ? I am guessing not.
2) Can I just install the OS patches separately ahead of time and then choose to NOT install them during the Sun Studio installation ?
3) If the answer to #2 is yes, can I have the installer still install the Sun Studio patches ?
The doc says that Java 1.4.2_08 is required. It also says that if this is available, then java installation will not be available as a component to install. I already have 1.4.2_11 installed but in a non-standard directory.
4) Does the installer determine Java availability via what it finds in PATH ?
Thanks,
Tim
