Hi Bruce,

I have just followed your instructions for creating an OSRCD for a Raq4.
One thing puzzles me, in your instructions it says that the Chilisoft
3.6.2 update package should be installed after all the other updates but
on the sun website list it says it should be installed before the os
update 2 packages. Could you point me in the right direction on this.


Thanks

Mark Roebuck
