Hi everyone I'm trying to do a Solaris 10 install onto an Ultra 60 system which has a normal CD-ROM drive. All has gone well (after learning a few tricks which can crash the installation process) but now that all the selected software of the 4 main CD's has been loaded, I'm being asked to put in a Documentation disk, and the only one I've got as a DVD format one. The box of CD's didn't include a documentation CD, and when I tried the documentation DVD the CD-ROM drive was able to accept it happily but I'm guessing that the data can't be read off the DVD so I keep getting an error box and going back to the same 'insert Documentation disk' part of the install again. Is there any way around this, given that I don't have a SCSI DVD-ROM drive on hand? I'm going to cancel the installation and start from scratch again but customise the packages and de-select anything relating to documentation (are the man page packages on the documentation dvd or one of the 4 main CD's?) to see if that prevents the install asking for something that doesn't exist!
