I run Solaris Nevada on two machines: a W1100z with a DVD drive, and an Ultra 10 that only has a CDROM. I could do a netinstall, but I also appreciate the CD iso's. Brett ps. I'm guessing you are going to get a lot of people that either due to not having DVD burners or not having DVD drives

What would be nice is a mini-cd iso or similar which would boot the machine with a network connection and download the rest of the required packages via http/https/ftp. On 2/28/07, Michael Huff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Would you have a problem with DVD-only images for > SX:CE? Do you have
