Yes it bites.  We bit the bullet and paid the $71 US for the solarspeed 
pkg yesterday.  FYI:  it installed without a hitch and the client is a 
happy camper.  I found a blog entry where a guy did the whole thing 
manually but since I am new to both Blue* and this server owner I 
decided that the $ was worth it to get it done quickly and not hose the 
rest of the system.
