Whoops. It's a typo. I meant to write "... after Solaris 10 is released".
That is, when Sun released Solaris 10 I couldn't find any links on www.sun.com
to download Solaris 9 anymore.

http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/9/ only gives you links to order the
media kit or download Solaris 10.

But as Dan Williams wrote, they are still available here;
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Software/

Be aware that the page was last updated June 22 2004, and doesn't contain
any links to Solaris 9 Update 6 (Solaris 9 4/04).
