   ls /ad /usr/jdk
3. If the folder /usr/jdk doesn’t exists, manually create it:
   mkdir /usr/jdk
4. Copy JDK 1.6 scripts (32bit and x64) into /usr/jdk
5. Move to /usr/jdk folder
   cd /usr/jdk
6. Change the permissions on the JDK 1.6 (32bit) script:
   chmod +x jdk-6u15-solaris-i586.sh
7. Run the command bellow to install JDK 1.6 (32bit):
   ./jdk-6u15-solaris-i586.sh
8. Change the permissions on the JDK 1.6 (x64) script:
   chmod +x jdk-6u15-solaris-x64.sh
9. Run the command bellow to install JDK 1.6 (x64):
   ./jdk-6u15-solaris-x64.sh
10. Delete the file /usr/jdk/jdk-6u15-solaris-i586.sh and samples:
    rm /usr/jdk/jdk-6u15-solaris-i586.sh
rm /usr/jdk/jdk-6u15-solaris-x64.sh
rm /usr/jdk/jdk1.6.0_15/src.zip
rm -r /usr/jdk/jdk1.6.0_15/demo
rm -r /usr/jdk/jdk1.6.0_15/sample

11. Remove the link for the Java
    rm /usr/bin/java
12. Create new link for the Java (for x64 servers):
    ln -s /usr/jdk/jdk1.6.0_15/bin/amd64/java /usr/bin
13. Reload the links into memory:
    rehash
14. Mount Solaris 10 DVD, and move to the packages folder:
