I will never understand why sun.com is so insistent to be sure you use
700MB CD blanks for burning Solaris 10 ISOs, when the largest ISO (the
"companion" CD that most people don't even use) is 660MB and the second
largest (the largest of the five actually *important* ISOs) is 470MB.

For that matter, I don't entirely see why it's split up the way it is.
The entire release would fit on four 650MB discs with room to spare.

(Yeah, I know the rationale; it makes the disc layout for the Solaris
x86 CDs the same as the Solaris Sparc CDs.)
