Is it safe to delete the /platform files that don't pertain to my system on Sparc Solaris 10?
I'm in desperate need of space on my disk, and want to clean up anything unnecesary. (Solaris 10, Blade 100). The /platform directory seems to contain a bunch of directories for specific hardware. Can I safely delete these (leaving, of course, the Blade 100 folder)?
Thanks

Why would my system need to know about hardware on a Netra-240? I guess the question is more: are these files used at any time? It doesn't make sense to me that they would be used. If they are used, how are they used? Are they used at setup, or continually as the system runs?
The issue is that I need space because of a too small / slice. Every mb counts, and I have been rm'ing every non essential file I'm certain I can safely erase. Even 19 megs will help. I have looked at other questions on EE regarding resizing slices via Disksuite or some such software, but I am new to this all and don't understand what that is (It would be grand to have some simple to use utility like Acronis disk director for Solaris, maybe that's what Disksuite is, but I can't find much info, and it appears as if this is no longer supported for Solaris 10.)
