Then Sun _sorely_ needs to change their installation script:

(add_to_install_server):

CopyEADirectory() {

        [ "$DEBUG" = "true" ] && set -x

        typeset -r EASource="$(dirname $ORIGDIR)/EA"
        typeset -r EATarget="$(dirname $TARGET)/EA"

        [ ! -d $EASource ] && return

        echo ""; echo "Copying the Early Access products..."

Everywhere in the installation scripts the software is indicated as being
an early access directory.  The installation documentation also mentions
that early access products are supplied on the second OS disc.
