With the cdrecord "trick" that was just undocumented by Jörg (see a previous 
post on this thread), you can concatanate the three partial dvd-iso files on 
the fly.

There was a very good reason for breaking the dvd iso into three fragments--you 
only have to re-download 1/3 of the image if something goes wrong.  But with 
SDM I never experienced any chksum error; thus, this point may become moot.

I used to be able to check all the three files and SDM would place them into my 
hd, unattendedly, in a couple of hours.  However, with SXCE becoming popular, 
SDM often stopped with only one file, and I had to restart the download process.

There is another problem.  The chksum file contains only the chksums for zipped 
files.  This adds a few unnecessary steps.

(BTW, "szosug" stands for the Shengzhen OpenSolaris User Group.  When we think 
of China, we often think of it as comprising two major cities, Beijing and 
Shanghai.  But the main locomotive that propels China's economic progress 
actually is Shengzhen (see the July/August issue of Atlantic Magazine).)
