Re: [osol-discuss] Re: sol-nv-b36 just released as Solaris Express 4/06

2006-04-29 Thread David J. Orman
Wasn't 3/06 b33? I'm going by memory but that's what I recall. The download page does seem rather odd, there is two downloads available for both ISO and DVD - as in two sets. One is b36 and one is b33, but both are labeled 4/06. ??? :) David On Apr 28, 2006, at 10:18 PM, Dennis Clarke
