Greetings,

I have a Sparc box with a SCSI CD drive attached that I would like to
update. To my horror I found out that I can no longer download CD ISO
images from SUN any more. Anybody know of a URL where I might be able
to obtain Solaris 10 update 5 disks or images thereof? I gather this is
the last update that was available in CD-sized chunks. My attempts to
do this via torrents has netted me about 80% over 3 weeks and seems to
have stalled.

Many thanks.

Oh, that's WAY too simple. Can't you propose something more
complicated? :-)

Thanks!

It gets more complicated quite quickly! I'd say more but I don't want
to spoil the experience for you!! ;-)

An alternative to the CD images for an older release might be to set up
a (VM on) a laptop as a media server, with the DVD media).
