You are correct, Jay. It was (maybe still is) available for download but my problem is eliminating problems with software to qualify and test some hardware. I simply do not want to trust downloaded or copied CDs to be good since I currently think the copy I have is causing problems. I want to use known, good CDs for the installation I am attempting so that if there are problems, I don't have to worry if a bit got flipped on the CD during download or copying. Paranoid, maybe, but I want to know as sure as possible that the CDs are good so that problems can confidently be blamed on the hardware. So, I want to get my hands on some original-from-Sun CDs.
