Solaris 10 Installation CDs

Hi,
I have downloaded solaris 10 installation CDs from site, verified them with checksums and burnt then into 700MB CDs. When I put the first one into CD-Rom and issue "boot cdrom" it prompt smthing like:
there is no executable file ...
What is the problem?

... In MS Windows ...
I double-click an ISO file.
It launches whatever program might be installed on my computer
that is associated with burning-to-disk (Nero, Roxio, Isobuster, whatever).
I pick a speed that I might want this time, such as 8x, and simply proceed.
It just works.
The program figures it all out for me.
That's how I've burned ISO files from all sorts of sources for the last eight years.
I double-click, and it just works.
Are you sure you downloaded the images for CD's
and not the five pieces of DVD that need to be joined before burning ?

Add packages using installation cds , post installation of os

Hi,
Please guide how to find packages & add them once the os installation is already over, using the installation cds.
Specifically, I want to know about adding the SPROcc package to get the c compiler.
Though I installed Solaris 10 x86 using the option "entire software distribution group " installation , still pkginfo SPROcc is not able to get any information about it.
Thanks,
Omendra

The Sun pro compilers are not part of the OS and are not on the OS installation CDs. They're a separate product.
If you need a compiler, the Sun Studio 11 suite is here (http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/cc/products/get.html), or GCC is installed in /opt/sfw/bin.

Disk Utility broken while booted from Installation CDs??

Situation: I have a Macbook Pro with a 120 GB HDD. I had partitioned it into two partitions, and later desired that I should have only one partition on the drive. I booted the Mac OS X installation CDs and attempted the following three-step procedure:
1. Use Disk Utility to image my system partition into a file on an external USB drive
2. Verify the image and repartition ("Erase") my laptop's internal HDD
3. Restore the disk image from the external HDD to the laptop's HDD.
I made it to step 3 without issue. So currently I have one unbootable Macbook Pro, an 85 GB image of a system partition on a USB HDD, and a perfectly bootable Intel Mac Mini from which I'm writing this post.
Problem: Disk Utility doesn't seem to be able to restore images when booted from the Installation CDs. On the 'Restore' tab there are two fields you must fill in, a 'source' field and a 'destination' field. The source field has a button where you can summon a very helpful file-picker, and it pulls up my disk image from my USB drive just fine. However, the destination field can only be filled in by clicking and dragging a drive from the left panel in Disk Utility.
However, it seems impossible to do this while booted from the Installation CDs. When I attempt to click and drag a disk from the left panel list, all I end up accomplishing is selecting multiple items from the list. To make a visual illustration:
Instead of this, like I get when I try it on my mac mini booted normally:
http://upload.pbase.com/silentplummet/image/72221384.jpg
...I get this, which is a photo of my macbook pro booted from the installation CDs:
http://upload.pbase.com/silentplummet/image/72221397.jpg
There doesn't seem to be any way to actually select a destination drive. If I had to hypothesize, I would guess that the GUI is crippled when you boot from CD and click+drag is deactivated. But that appears to make it impossible to restore images since the only way to select destination drives is by clicking and dragging.
Now I am a college student; I'm not really losing revenue or anything over this, but this is an awful oversight on Apple's part and I am stuck on what to do about it. There is no documentation that says "Restore functionality is crippled in Disk Utility when booting from installation CDs." Here are the steps I have tried for an alternate solution:
-Commandline diskutil. Unfortunately Apple has crippled it and there appears to be no imaging functionality whatsoever.
-Mount the image manually and cp the files back over. Unfortunately I can't make it preserve permissions. I passed the right options to cp but it just won't do what it's supposed to. I tried copying it anyway and using Disk Utility to repair the permissions, but it still wouldn't boot.
-Call Applecare. The support rep was kind and helpful but couldn't offer a solution. The higher-ups fed me some BS about not supporting third party applications, well, I hardly think Disk Utility constitutes a third party application.
My next step is to boot the MBP in target disk mode and use my mac mini to restore the image to the MBP HDD, but I have to buy a firewire cable for that and I don't really want to.
Seeking: acknowledgement that Disk Utility is broken and Apple *****, or otherwise immediate solutions to restore the image to my HDD that do not constitute monetary expenditures on my part.
Macbook Pro 15" 2.0 GHz Mac mini 1.5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Others have (in the Mac Pro forum) noticed this bug in Disk Utility on the Intel version install disks. Your easiest fix would be to reinstall OSX on you Macbook disk, boot it, mount the disk image from the USB drive, and use the Migration Assistant to copy over all your accounts and data files.

How do I re-install my two Adobe products without having the original software installation CDs?

I purchase Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premiere Elements 10 in 2011 or 2012 (I can't remember the exact date). I installed both products on my home desktop PC, then later on my work laptop. The motherboard on my home PC crashed recently and since has been replaced. However, I had to start from scratch and reload everything (Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Office 2010, all of my files and documents, other programs, etc). And now I am unable to locate my original installaiton software (Adobe installation CDs) to reinstall both products. I apparently only registered one (Adobe Photoshop Elements 10) of my two products, with my Adobe account. However, I can't remember even using the Adobe Premier Elements 10 software when I had it on my home PC, prior to it crashing. So for right now, I only need Photoshop Elements 10, which I use daily.
Is there a way I can download them directly from the Adobe website online, or from a file attached to an email from Adobe?
Also, is there a way to get my serial number from software (Adobe Premiere Elements 10) still loaded onto my work PC, so I can register the product with Adobe under my Adobe account?

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

No Disk meet the criteria for Solaris installation

Hi all, I have a problem when trying to install Solaris 8 (Intel) on my PC. There are some funny things happened while installing the OS.
1.) My motherboard does not support booting from CD-ROM, so I downloaded a Device Assistant Boot Disk to boot it up. Then I use dd.exe to make the boot disk from the image, I have tried many times that after creating the boot disk, this boot disk will contain 512 bytes of bad sector. So why?
2.) After using this boot disk to boot up and install the OS, before entering to the detection of the bus type stuff (still on the white screen), at the bottom of the screen, it says "ata_command select failed ... ...", what does this mean?
3.) When the system go back to the white screen with language selection, I choose English (which is 1), and the system try to find my hard disk, but it failed and says "No Disk meet the criteria for Solaris installation" with a new line saying "installation documenation found.". So what is happening?
Appreciate for any help.

Did you check that your adaptec scsi controller is
supported by solaris and/or has a working driver
(from sun or adaptec) ?

How do I determine what type of Solaris installation I have ?

I'm runnig "SunOS PSP 5.8 Generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R" but I would like to determine the type of Solaris installation I have....do I have a a "development" installation ? Do I have all the SUNW developer packages ? Also what are the "types of installations" that are possible ?
I'm thinkig about download the mysql binary (from Sunfreeware.com) and I went to the dpendencies site (http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/s8u7dependencies.html) to check what dependencies exist and I saw the following line (among other non "related" info.):
mysql-3.23.43 gcmn-1.0 ncurses-5.2
What exactly does this mean ?

Hi
You can check the type of solaris install from the below file

Do Mac Mini installation CDs include iLife?

I have a 2007 Mac Mini running OS X (10.5.7) Leopard. It has iLife 08, but I don't have an installation CD for iLife 08. I have the OS X (10.5.7) installation CDs, do they include iLife 08? I want to use the CDs to install the OS and iLife 08 onto a secondhand iBook I am buying.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
The original OS X disks that came with your mini would have iLife on it. The original OS X disks that came with your mini can't be used to install OS X on the iBook you are buying, as they only work on the system type that they were delivered with. If you want to install iLife on the iBook you're buying, you'll need to find a retail copy to install.

Hi my MacBook is freezing whenever I try to open an application. I have tried resetting the system management controller, however no success. How can I wipe my hardrive and reinstall it again. PS: I no longer have the installation CDs, can I download it from Apple?

To get replacement installation disks, call Apple. Have the serial number of your MBP ready and a credit card. There is a fee.
Ciao.

Does anyone have LABVIEW 6.1 Installation CDs?

Does anyone have LABVIEW v6.1 installation CDs?

The best option would be to find someone else in Indiana.
If your sales rep can put you into touch with some long-running customers, they should be able to hunt down some CDs. The fact that NI doesn't keep the CDs on stock is sometimes annoying but is at least consistent. I had the same problem here in Switzerland.
Ask your sales rep just to do youa favour. YOu're a paying customer after all, and the licence allows downgrading so there's no legal barrier.
Just making sure there's no legal barrier is best if you actually go over your sales rep. He can even contact me if he wants, and I'll pass on CDs to you via your local NI sales rep.
Cost? 5 Stars
Shane.

No Disks that meet the citeria in the Solaris installer documentation found. Please check the system or try another installation option #

I'm tring to install this on an IBM netfinity 5100 server which has ultra 160 scsi drives.I get this message

Please help me. I new to UNIX and SOLARIS.Thanks!

You are probably using the INSTALL CD that comes with Solaris x86.
Don't use it but use the Software CD 1/1 to boot and install the system instead. The INSTALL CD is supposed to be used on a completely blank system (no other OS's) although even there I think Software CD 1/1 does the job.
Also, if you are new to Solaris I advice you to get the FAQ (you can find it on e.g. http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2- it should be really helpfull during the first few weeks/months on Solaris

Would appreciate if anyone can tell us the way to get these CDs.

Hello,
You are right Eyal, CRM5.0 is only available in ramp-up for the moment. It means that only customers which are taking part to a ramp-up program have access to CRM5.0 actually.
