Solaris Intel Download???

[XxMaCaBrExX]

I heard somewhere that you could download Solaris for the Intel Platform for free on their website. Did I hear wrong, or do they just not have it for free anymore, or am I just not looking in the right place???

You heard right that there is Solaris for Intel, but unfortunately it is not available any more. For download, at least.

You may still be able to order a media-kit?

I have an 8-disk set of Solaris 8. I'll burn you a copy, if you want to pay for shipping and cd's. Or if you have something that you'd want to trade.

They're not offering it for download anymore... Only for SPARC. They'll be glad to [b]sell[\b] you a copy, though...

Having just received the 45.00 Solaris for intel media kit, I will give my two cents worth. Save your money, unless you like to really dig deep into your computer knowledge, pocket book, and solve really tough puzzles. I was unable to get my system to install properly after trying about a dozen times with various methods. Maybe I'm just dumb.
