Brand new install of solaris 9 on a Ultra 5 and I can not install software on it ( can not extract .bz2 image)
Actually this is two questions. First I am a newbian to solaris and have a brand new install of 9.0 and the netscape works just totally crappy. Some pages just get totaly messed up. What can be so messed up about the stock install ?
My solution was to download the .bz2 package from Mozilla and install it instead of the Netscape. The problem is that the default install does not appear to have anything on it to unzip the package so I can add the package. What tool is on the box to uncompress it. I tried to download a utility to uncompress it but it was compressed and I did not have anything to decompress the decompression utility.
How do I get the mozilla on the box ?
