In addition to the detailed download_instruction.xml page, the Solaris 10 download page directly includes this more abbreviated text:
===== After downloading and unzipping segments, follow these instructions: Reconstruct the full DVD image, by using the cat command (UNIX systems) or the COPY command (Windows systems). The correct syntax is: -cat file1 file2 file3 file4 file5 > file.iso or -copy /b file1 + file2 + file3 + file4 + file5 file.iso ====== -- Alan Matt Williamson wrote: > Mike Carter wrote: >> I downloaded the Solaris 9.x cd iso and dvd iso.
