been playing with a Sun Solaris box which I had to rebuilt because downgrading Oracle is a near impossible task unless you are someone who deals with Oracle on a day to day basis. So I chose to rebuild the Sun box, installed Solaris however I chose to leave APM and DHCP which is fine, except when you have a Windows DHCP server, since it loses the hostname, have wasted at least a day monkeying around with Solaris, Solaris Patches and Oracle. Once I finally had the machine working nicely yesterday I find out that the CD I’m trying to install from has a massive scratch on it. Hence the reason for the failed install attempts, and probably the reason for the failed downgrade in the first place. Distributed working has some downsides, machine in Cambridge me in London, hence me not hearing the high pitched noises the drive makes whilst trying to read the CD.
On top of all this I think I’m getting a cold.
