Installing PatientOS on SUN Sparc/Solaris 10
Solaris installation instructions are very similar to the Linux instructions.
The main difference is
a) Download gnu tar and install its dependent packages from ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/10/ with the pkgadd -d <file> command.
libiconv-1.9.2-sol10-sparc-local
libgcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local
tar-1.16-sol10-sparc-local
b) The PostgreSQL software install of postgresql-8.3.1-S10.sparc-32

c) The Java install of jdk-6u7-solaris-sparc.sh
download java 1.6.07 for Sparc Solaris 10. Unpack and then replace the patientos java directory
rm -fR /usr/local/patientos/082/jre1.6.0_02
mv jdk1.6.0_07 /usr/local/patientos/082
mv /usr/local/patientos/082/jdk1.6.0_07 /usr/local/patientos/082/jre1.6.0_02
d) Remember, like Linux, running PatientOS using X-Windows over a LAN is slooooow. NX Server/Nx Client allow you to get a fast, snappy application as long as you have a fairly recent CPU (2.2 dual core min recommended). Just install the 3 packages.

e) Create users, login and start patientos (command line or setup a shortcut)
