FREE Sun Solaris 10 OS on DVD or CD for download.

It is properly spelled SLOWaris. Gawd, I fawking hate that OS, want a nice *nix, try Linux! I have to use it at work on about a dozen servers... sooo bad. By default it installs version 5.00008 of perl, the current version is 5.8.x! No nice GNU tools, their version of 'tar' blows. I could go on for hours about how much that POS sucks, but I'll leave you at getting your 'free' copy. I wouldn't take it, unless they paid me to!
 
ok, downloaded the 5 files.

now how in the hell do I get these 5 files into a single ISO file?
 
Does anyone know if this works with older Sun systems. I have a Sparcstation 20 and an Ultra 5 that this might be fun to play with on.

I did. Since it was the smallest file, it was the first I got.

and you know what the directions said?



Re-Assembly Instructions for sol-10-GA-x86-dvd-iso.iso


Required component files and md5 check sums:
===========================================
sol-10-GA-x86-dvd-iso-a.zip 1acfdb660195315c4601a847bbe74e91
sol-10-GA-x86-dvd-iso-b.zip 14675308b655a02a14bd81791dd59a16
sol-10-GA-x86-dvd-iso-c.zip 4aacf120a4ad13edacb768730acf49ba
sol-10-GA-x86-dvd-iso-d.zip 8ab774b27cf4c2c04281c7cfd0b8bb72
sol-10-GA-x86-dvd-iso-e.zip da9f502e9fa3857876b3ea245cc355c8





Gather and unzip all required component files.

Then concatentate all unzipped files into one
single file named sol-10-GA-x86-dvd-iso.iso.


The combined file should have an md5sum value of:

sol-10-GA-x86-dvd-iso.iso d7b6f773519c1caaafb57100d428a0e3


REQUIREMENTS:

Operating System and utility support of large files (>2GB).


Now...they don't say how to combine the files or whatever the hell concatentate means.

So, my questions stands.
 
it made a joined file, but didn't join the other files.

any other thoughts?
 
Need to get my Solaris box up and running again. It was pushed aside and replaced by a bsd server.

Maybe before you make smart ass comments YOU should go "RTFM"
 
@ Anarchy

burn : ;)


@ NecessaryEvil

cat iso2file iso2file iso3file iso4file iso5 file > onebig.iso

edit: i'm assuming you're on linux but you can get a ported cat program for win
 
If you're on Win/DOS then use the copy command.

Example:

COPY /B FILE1 + FILE2 + FILE3 + FILE4 + FILE5 OUTPUTFILE

haha. Yeah it might be a pain in the ass if you are used to having everything handed to you on a silver platter as in many of the recent Linux releases. I've been a Solaris administrator for 8 years now. While it's not as polished as many - the stability and performance is very good when paired with Sun hardware. I have servers currently up for over 800 days! I routinely have servers with an uptime of over a year before I bring them down for patches and such. I use my own compiled versions of SSH, etc and apply high risk security patches routinely. I don't usually upgrade the kernel much if I'm not having any issues. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

I deal with Linux, Solaris and AIX 5+ on a daily basis. If I need a quick server, Linux is the way to go. If I want one to give me problems all the time, then I use AIX. If I want rock solid stability I go with Solaris.
