2. If you do not have a previous version of this sv6 software
and/or June 2001 or later X server and OpenGL on your
system, do not install the sv6_enhancements bundle.

Update patch installed. Check date by running:
what /opt/graphics/OpenGL/lib/libGL.1
• SD tools must be configured for swinstall to multiple
targets (touch /var/adm/sw/.sdkey) and allow root
access from the master node to all slave nodes
(swacl).
• Master has root permissions assigned in /.rhosts on
all slave nodes.
• Gigabit network must be functional:
