Did you read what michael wrote ???

Any patches issued by Sun (if they ever do) can be installed over the
Solarspeed patch.

Another thing: do you guys have the same feeling installing solarspeed
patches ?? Only when installing things from sun i keep my finger crossed for
two days in a row :-) thanks michael (again again) The beer is on me
