Burning Solaris 9 DVD.

Hi There !

I have downloaded the DVD version of Solaris9, from their web-site.

I have now 4 files named :

sol-9-905hw-ga-sparc-dvd-iso-a.zip

sol-9-905hw-ga-sparc-dvd-iso-b.zip

sol-9-905hw-ga-sparc-dvd-iso-c.zip

sol-9-905hw-ga-sparc-dvd-iso-d.zip

I'd like to know if I need to "merge" those 4 files (once unzipped) to create an installation DVD ?

Do I need at the end an iso file ?

Where do I find this procedure ?

Many Thanks !

Thanks rukbat, but this is for Solaris 10.Is it the same procedure for Solaris 9 ?

Don't see why not.

The naming conventions are the same.

sol-9-905hw-ga-sparc-dvd-iso-a.zip

sol-9-905hw-ga-sparc-dvd-iso-b.zip

sol-9-905hw-ga-sparc-dvd-iso-c.zip

sol-9-905hw-ga-sparc-dvd-iso-d.zip

Try an experiment.

Make copies of your downloads.

TRY IT with those working copies.

Find out what you end up with.

Return to the forum and teach us all what happens.

No need to experiment. The process is the same. You unzip each segment, then join them into a single ISO image.-- Alan
