I realise that this isn't the answer you were looking for, but FYI the
Solaris 8 ISOs for Sparc and x86 are available for free from Sun.
(Alternatively you can pay an $80 "media fee" to Sun and they'll ship you
the CDs WITH pretty lables <grin> and some printed material.)

Subject: SunOS
Hello all,
I've tried checking ebay every once in awhile for SunOS media, and
the best I've found is the occasional box of documentation or
whatever, but no media.
I was not blessed with my very own unix machines until after Solaris
had come to be popular, but I'd like very much to put SunOS on some
of my sparcs now, just for grins.
Does anyone know where one could pick up some SunOS media? I'm kind
of hoping that there is a school or corporation that has a bunch
sitting in a cabinet, or am I just pushing my luck, and most likely
they've been tossed by unknowing or uncaring personnel? Or does
one just have to get lucky and find someone with an extra set lying
around?
Thanks!
George
