solaris 10 software 5 disc ?

i've succeeded in installing solaris 10.

i am now stuck in a loop.

when starting up, the solaris install always starts and want the software 5 disk to continue.

i've put in every disk i have, but nothing seems to satisfy the installer so it can continue.

i received 3 disks from sun in the mail,

a sparc install, a x86 (which i used as i have a x86 machine) install and a developer install disc.

none of these will install, and i can do nothing but reboot and try again.

whats this software 5 disc it want?

if i choose to skip it, it gives me a reboot option, but never actually reboots unless i hit the on off switch on my machine.

can anyone give me some help?

thanks!

Harold

Consider starting all over again.

When you are at the step where you select what you're going to install,

do NOT select the Software Supplement of optional packages, programs, and third party applets.

That's the 5th disk of possible CD media.

When installing from CD media format (as opposed to DVD media),

the OS only needs four disks for an "Entire plus OEM" cluster. Thus the reference to disk #5.
