Solaris (Intel Platform Edition) Third Party Packaging Tools

Just when you thought it was gone, it's back!

Sun has brought back the Driver Update Diskette, so that anyone interested can build their own ITU diskettes to be used at install time, can now do so.

For more information please see the Device Update Diskette Web Page.

This could help vendors and users alike who wish to produce device drivers to be used at install time and more so to expand the hardware that Solaris x86 will install to.

A BIG round of applause go to the IHV/ISV team in Solaris x86 Engineering for pulling this through and getting it back into not only the hands of vendors, but everyone's hands who wishes to do so.

Hopefully many will benifit from this!
