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!

Regards,

Craig.
