[SunHELP] Passing on some news..

[Adam Victor Reed]

Where did Oracle put the Solaris 9 ISOs? I will need them if I need to
re-image my legacy systems, but I can't find them... Does anyone have a
current URL for download from Oracle?

Context matters. Seldom does *anything* have only one cause.

I'm aware enterprise legacy is a lot longer than consumer markets but Oracle are not Sun. This is all stuff they can do without supporting in a current OS, and they can provide Solaris 9 and 10 for these systems still.

It's the part that really bugs me to be honest, especially while I'm sitting here laying with a Hobbyist licensed version of OpenVMS (thanks HP!!).
