Thanks, this seems to have solved my problem. One strange thing that
occured though was the following 'killed' message during patch
installation. It only occured once and it hasn't caused any problems
that I've noticed, but another sun that I updated logged something
similar too.

Strangely, I experienced a different problem when I tried to update a
different machine (my sunblade). It logged the following many times:

/var/tmp/108528-13.log.1742 says:

I don;t know if this is important or completely harmless, but it's
worth noting that the first machine didn't do this. I've saved the
update.log's from both machines in if you want to see more of them.
