The list is fine, but if you see some bug that is not taken attention to 
please open up the bug reports there (so I don't forget about it)

You're supposed to configure, compile and install tiger, please read the 
USING file. I will try to provide tar.gzs with the files belonging to UID 
0, but some tar implementations will not allow you to create files with 
UID=0 unpacking them from a tar (they will get the user's UID).

Yes, I will fix that soon in CVS.

You are _almost_ right, this is true for Solaris 8 and 9 but not for 
previous versions. I will fix this in their config files.

They are, because we used some non-POSIX stuff that works fine in some 
UNIX systems but not on Solaris, it seems. I will take a look and fix those 
too.

Thanks for the testing you've done and for the bug reports.
