With 5.0.10 apparently the list of rerequisites has been drastically altered , although these changes have not been documented.
vdcf_prereqs_sparc.tar.gz only contains ncurses & tcl, there is no word on apache or other required packages (unlike with 5.0.2 where most of these packages were included) . Do we still have to install these packages as documented in your manual or can these be skipped?
We're currently evaluating VCDF against Oracle VM 2.2 since one of the major benefits is its ability to handle zones & well as Oracle VMs.
