time has come to try upgrading my SB1000 from Solaris 9 to 10

I have downloaded and burnt the latest version of the Solaris 10 DVD image 
(unfortunately it's probably polluted with Oracle everyhere) and perhaps 
tomorrow will have a go at seeing if I can successfully upgrade my SB1000 
system running Solaris 9 to Solaris 10.

I have a lot of third-party stuff that I have compiled and installed 
myself over the last few years and loads of libraries, etc. that are 
perhaps part of the standard Solaris distribution but weren't at the time.

Most of that additional stuff is in /usr/local (symlinked to /var/local 
where it really lives) and I have shell aliases pre-defined for compiling 
things that look for libraries in a couple of non-standard locations such 
as /usr/local/lib, etc. so gcc can link in things that applications need.

Hopefully the upgrade can proceed more or less smoothly without too many 
headaches. Craig.
