Installation Instructions
=========================
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR BUILD 45:
1) A new version of the OpenSSL libraries will be in snv_43. Vermillion 45 was built with these new libraries so you must install the SUNWopenssl-libraries manully before installing Vermillion 45. Most importantly, you must *NOT* remove the existing SUNWopenssl-libraries package when installing the new version, otherwise pkgadd and pkgrm will fail. When installing this package, choose to ignore the conflicting files (under /usr/sfw/lib). The package is under the 'openssl-pkgs' directory and in a download/SUNWopenssl-libraries-[x86|sparc].tar.gz tarball.
2) As root, run "svcadm disable svc:/system/postrun:default" to disable the postrun service and avoid install time messages.
