We have an additional V65z here with 2 GB Ram. As running Solaris 8 x86
under VMware ESX doesn't work due to driver problems a colleague is  
installing
Linux with VMware Workstation on it, where the Solaris 8 x86 will be  
inside.
I will be away for the week for, so estimate the migration of build8x  
in about
10 days. I also ordered a memory upgrade for the T5220 from the 8 GB  
now to
then 16 GB. The several build-zones, Hudson, testing zones for  
maintainers
without other Solaris 8 access and build activity made this necessary.


Best regards
