[csw-users] pkg-get help

[Darin Perusich]

you need to install the latest patch cluster on the system to bring it
up to date.

go to http://sunsolve.sun.com and create an account. then download the
latest solaris 8 patch cluster, it's about 160mb in size. once you've
installed this you should be able to continue with pkg-get.
