Word of caution to those updating Solaris

Since Sun Update Manager was released, I decided to join other civilized people who, either on Windows or Linux, can scroll through a list of fixes, make selection, download, have it all installed automatically and having one's system in better shape than before after a reboot (not like those neoanderthals who download patches via FTP and install them using command-line tools). It almost worked. One issue was more of a peculiarity: not all of updates installed became effective upon the very next reboot.

But the fact that one of updates was a newer version of XOrg... I should have guessed the outcome :) Of course, with 3rd or 4th reboot, when the change came into force, NVidia's driver refused to load :( Being bad with command line and Solaris, I could not figure out a way to mount an SMB share in Solaris, to access driver installer I have on my NAS... oh well, ended up spoiling a blank CD-R to copy this driver. So if you are about to update your Solaris, make sure driver installer file is there somewhere in the filesystem.
