I've tried the live-CD and the text installer (both x86), and have never been able to get a whole download (Using Safari as the browser, since this will end up running under VirtualBox on the Mac). There's no longer an SDM option, not that I ever had much luck with that back in the day (seemed to have issues with the 2GB line, although these files should be ok there), and if there's documentation for what magic might allow one to use wget, I haven't found it.
Update: tried again, size was roughly right but not divisible by 512 (so lofiadm on a Solaris box wouldn't work). Needless to say, md5sum wasn't right either. However, I _may_ have wget working (started while trying with the browser, don't know if that matters), using the options --auth-no-challenge --no-check-certificate --http-user=_your_userid_ --http-password=_your_password_ Don't know if I needed the --auth-no-challenge, but figured it probably wouldn't hurt. Well, the wget finished, and it was clean. Size was divisible by 512, and md5sum was correct. I should probably have used an --output-document option too, since the file ended up with a ?e=_digits_,h=_hex_ appended to it. I'm guessing that it didn't help that the web server apparently identified the MIME type as text/plain (which might result in CRLF to NL conversions or something like that other than a clean binary download). The norm (by my Apache mime.types file) would be to identify an iso file as application/octet-stream. Making this work better would be a first step to a good experience, the more so given the level of skepticism since Oracle changed all the rules. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
