[csw-users] Firefox Solaris8 failure

[George Wyche]

@James

I attempted to get a patch 108434-22 which patches SUNWlibc, because the 
  5.8 box's is 108434-13. Alas, it is NOT a free patch. So maybe I am at 
a dead end for FireFox on Solaris8, unless I embark on a $ path that 
means at a minimum filling out company forms, seeking justifications, 
etc. which is abhorred. I'll live with Netscape 4.6, if it comes to that.

I will also put out feelers about being allowed to install Solaris10.

Thanks again for the attention.
