Friends,

I was required to install Solaris 8 recently on an HP/Compaq Proliant G2 server.I
thought some of you might still be interested in Solaris 8.

The torrent contains following:

iso images of CD1 and CD2 (original media from Sun as you can see in the .jpg)

The Driver Update Romapq that I had to download from HP/Compaq website for Solaris
SmartArray Driver. You are required to run the exe in a windows pc and it will
extract a bunch of files in that folder. Pls. refer to README.TXT file that is
created in the folder after extraction. You wouldn't care about this file unless
you are going to install onto a Proliant.

Lastly, the jpg image of the original media.

I am not sure if anyone is interested in this stuff any more. There is another CD
that contains the Documentation (AnswerBook) that is not included here. And yes,
there is Oracle8i (8.1.5) for Solaris 8(intel) in yet another CD. Let me know if
someone needs a torrent for those.

Like I said, this is for intel only, not for sparc.

thanks ....

Is this just the software, or the installation disk too?

tj8 at 2008-09-10 23 CET:

Disk 1 is good to begin installation. It doesn't matter
much if one starts the installation from 'Install Disk'
or disk 1.

thanks ..

Are you sure the first CD was ripped properly? Solaris CDs have an a standard ISO partition as well as a UFS partition. I tested in Linux and cannot detect the ufs parition. I think this needs to be re-ripped. When booting I just get the error "not a UFS filesystem".

Thanks.

Notice:
I apologize for my carelessness.

clmason is absolutely right. I wrote the CD1 iso to
a CD-R and tried booting with it. The m/c complains that UFS is not found. Dont download this torrent,
and if you do un-check the CD1 image (.zip) in your torrent client. I am searching for a way to
get the both the partitions included in an ISO.
Let me upload that as a new torrent and will post a link here.

Thanks clmason.

Thanks very much, I would appreciate it!

Under linux or Mac, I believe "readcd" (part of cdrecord) can do this properly. Not sure about windows. Probably disk utility on Mac can do it too.

Anyone got old (2.6-5.8) SPARC versions of SunOS? I would appreciate an upload a lot!

Hey... Thanks a lot for the torrent... But I`m still wating for the CD1 being properly ripped.

P.S. I`ve got a set of 4 CD`s of Solaris 9 for x86 platform. Is anybody interested in?

clmason at 2008-11-13 04:58 CET:


I believe Solaris 9 x86 can still be downloaded for free from Sun's website. Unfortunately they removed Solaris 8 a while back and I didn't save my previous copy. :(

Hey boys!!!
I`ve recompiled the 1st CD and uploaded new torrent with two installation CD`s of Solaris 8 x86 and DCA-diskette for booting!
