Yes, the stupid Java installer is really annoying. However, there is
a workaround:
- Download the package version of the SS12U2 tarball.
- Find a box with the same architecture that you want to install SS12U2
on: The installer will complain if you try to unpack the x86 version
on a Sparc system.
- Make sure that nothing from SS12U2 is installed on that system: The
installer will only unpack packages that aren't already(!) installed.
- Unpack the tarball.
- Run the installer with the "--extract-installation-data <directory>"
option. It will then create package streams:
