Oi! The paralympics are awesome. An incredible melding of man and machine. It is like Formula 1 in some ways. When I watch it I cannot help but think of the Six Million Dollar Man (and the Bionic Woman).

Choose your metaphors carefully.

Well, you do need to edit your spec files, even if only to
change the dependencies to the Solaris equivalents.
If you find inconsitencies/missing features you need, please
let me know. pkgbuild currently supports whatever we used
in JDS/SuSE and JDS/Solaris. I'm adding stuff as people
request them or as I discover missing bits and pieces.

You may want to check out nexenta os (http://www.gnusolaris.org), which is the opensolaris kernel & tools wrapped up as a debian distro…kind of ubuntu solaris. i installed it on an extra dual amd 1800 mp box, and i must say that it performs considerable better than the same running linux. (fc4 or suse 10) no question the menu’s pop up like lightning as do most programs…i’m a giant linux & gnome fan, though i develop on solaris for a living…these guys definitely have a kick ass os. it will be nice to see it open and approachable like linux…

And a friend of mine suggests you to check that
you have the required package installed in your system:

$pkginfo -l SPROdwrfb
