solaris 10 update 10 8/11 dvd iso

[vectrum]

Hi,
I can not download iso file as it failed after
downloading 1.1 or 1.2 gigs. I tried several
times but each time it failed and the error
messages like "File not found" or "Read error".

My connection is stable (shown 32kbps and 18 hrs
completion time) and I used jdownloader and
flashgot from firefox but failed each time.

Does oracle really want us to download it ?
Is there any torrent file of it?
Is there any other site which hosts this file
which can be downloaded.?

It's becoming really very frustrating.

Any help please.

Oracle doesn't want us to download the iso file.
Oracle doesn't want us to buy the media kit.

Why do they offer to download solaris10 iso file?

if i'm not the person they are looking for then who are they looking

Are they looking for `the` nasty, obstinate class of creatures who
possess vindictive attitude and waste no time spew their
ugly venom on the pretext of helping and who roam the forums like
mongrels. These buffoons sometime think they are really pedantic and
suffering from superiority complex.

Bloody idiot is also a fortuneteller.

Customers with larger purchasing budgets.

What makes you think that I don't fall into the category of
"Customers with larger purchasing budgets"?

Someone who knows how to quote correctly on Usenet?

The reason the OS has to be downloaded form oracle's site is you have to
agree to the licensee terms. Even the original OpenSolaris builds had
the same restriction due to the inclusion of other vendors licensed code.

Distributions like OpenIndiana don't include licensed code, so they
don't have the same distribution restrictions.

Thank you. I've just learnt how to quote.

I tried to download it by wget and failed as usual.
My connection may have been choked but I'm not sure.
Here is the output of wget;

It certainly looks like that's the case. Are you able to traceroute to
download.oracle.com?

You might be able to restart the download with 'wget -c'.

I've been asked to use wget only to know the real
reason of prospective download failure. :))
I've just started another session and it it disconnects then
I shall use traceroute.

What is the optimum speed required to download
it?

I'd be more interested in why the connection timed out when wget tried
to restart the connection. That indicates that you weren't able to reach
the Oracle download site at all. That's probably why the download failed
in the first place.

> What is the optimum speed required to download

Your connection seems to fail at the 1G mark, which is about halfway
through. If your link fails on a consistent basis like that, I'd guess
you need roughly twice the throughput to get the download done before that
happens.

Or, you could figure out why your connection is failing.

You need an Oracle equivalent to Sun's wget_sdlc shell script
which wrapped wget(1) with the SSL and HTTP Cookie options to
SSO authenticate and indicate acceptance of the OTN license
for customers and potential customers with limited bandwidth.

Here's a first stab:

Perhaps my isp has blocked it. It shows asterisked
output for all url.

Now I have started wget with -c option from console.
This option is really useful and I've crossed my fingers and prey to
God for his kind help which came through you
and John D Groenveld.
I tried to get oracle's wget wrapper as John suggested
but couldn't find it so I was looking for it and google gave
me this: http://workingbinary.com/2011/03/how-to-download-from-oracle-using-wget/
From here I got the basic idea and started downloading
by firefox initiated wget. I copied the first few lines of
wget's outpur, stopped the browser based download.
Then again started downloading by issuing the the following command;
wget -c --http-user=myn...@domain.tld --http-passwd=mypasswd --no-
check-certificate
http://download.oracle.com/otn/solaris/10/sol-10-u10-ga2-x86-dvd.iso?AuthParam=1328731541_4377fe1d1489e4d6b9159b3501fe72a7

I wonder if this AuthParam=13...a7 is a constant or it
changes on every new download!

I have learnt a lot from you all.

Don't waste a blank DVD until you check your MD5 checksum.
Does it match Oracle's?

my goodness gracious! I never thought that.
I've just checked with the key you've given (thank you
very much for that because I haven't found the key
at oracle's) and both are identical.

bbab88c5cf0e5bd1cce01e0ab22aaab3 mine

Output from console.
# openssl md5 sol-10-u10-ga2-x86-dvd.iso
MD5(sol-10-u10-ga2-x86-dvd.iso)= bbab88c5cf0e5bd1cce01e0ab22aaab3

But the new download can't be of any help.
8/11 dvd invokes my existing solaris10 u1
instead of booting itself. It changes the grub
menu text from solaris 10 to Oracle solaris 10.
Also display cpu panic with strings in hex.
Perhaps it happens due to insufficient ram.
(written in otn forum of general discussion of solaris10)
I have got 512 and the this one needs 1.5 gigs
so... .
I got another disc, 10u6 which I had
downloaded two years ago. Now planning
to install that version. I am doing all this for
only one reason. I want to get my nic detected.

TODAY I HAVE LEARNT openssl command with md5
option.. I used md5 but not with openssl.
THANKS.

Which update was sun's last creation?

[Canuck57]

Sun had the right idea by letting Solaris go into the wild. For without
people to program it and make it run for business, there will be no
"larger purchasing budgets" for Oracle.

The X100s I piloted over well over 10 years ago, and Solaris running on
Intel VMs helped sell 2 E10Ks just years later as it helped us dump the
HP-UX pig iron.

Bet Oracle's market share is decreasing with the kiss of death. As they
are 80% done migrating off of Sun/Oracle.

Times change and people change with them.

Like Ingres, it was far better better than Oracle's crap DB in 1980s but
saw the CA kiss of death, Oracle is the kiss of death for Solaris.

Resistance isn't futile. You just move on. In this case, Linux and
Microsoft.

But I am sure somewhere people in diminishing numbers do run OS2, DG-UX,
Solaris, Tru64, HP-UX, AIX and other good OSes where vendors killed them.
