Install on UltraSparc IIi

857024Apr 21 2011 — edited Apr 23 2011
I have an old UltrSparc IIi with Solaris 10 on it that is 5 years old. I have not been able to update it in any way since Oracle took possession of Sun. I did go online and download an 'updated' Solaris 10 (I assume it is OpenSolaris which is Solaris kernel with linux programs) but it only downloads on DVD and my UltraSparc only has a CD reader/writer. The box is too old to spend money on and was hoping to use it for an internal lan server in my home. Anyone have any suggestions how I can either get updates for the OLD Solaris 10 or how I can get the OpenSolaris for Sparc on CD??? I don't want to buy the expensive support package for this box as it is just for my home and for study/practice to familiarise myself with Solaris.
