[pca] pca and the liveupgrade needs?

[przemolicc at poczta.fm]

Hi all,

I had to use this Sunsolve document before several times (and asked Martin
about the same feature :-)) but I stopped since SUN released
- Solaris 10 SPARC Live Upgrade Zones Starter Patch Bundle
- Solaris 10 x86 Live Upgrade Zones Starter Patch Bundle
You can download them from 
https://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=patches/patch-access

I install them before LU and then safely use LU without problem.
Since some Solaris 10 release (I don't recall which one) they are
already included in the system but olders S10 releases
need them.

Best regards
Przemek
