    I downloaded the pre-compiled Python packages from sunfreeware.com, installed them on my Solaris 8 box. I am trying to do a simple import of Tkinter. Since I installed Tcl 8.4 as well as Tk 8.4, and set my environment variables, I should be in reasonable good shape. However, I get the following...

    How do I reset NVRAM to factory defaults ?

    It is important to remember your security password and to set the security password before setting the security mode. If you forget this password, you cannot use your system; you must call your vendor's customer support service to make your machine bootable again...
