Companion CD packages are also available via the UNIX Packages website, including the latest versions built for Solaris 10 Update 11 for SPARC and X86. This has been updated and expanded to 110 packages See Solaris 10 U11 Companion CD/DVD. Earlier Solaris 8, 9, 10 releases are available in our ISO archives. See Companion CD/DVD.

Sun Solaris 9 X86 Download Iso
Hi guys,
I'm a computer science student and I use Sun Solaris 9 on x86 and SPARC machines in my University for learning purposes.
I'm longing to understand much more about this interesting Unix system, and the best way is to install it on my machine at home... don't you think?!?
So I just downloaded the two Solaris 9 x86 ISOs ('sol-9-u6-x86-v1.iso' and 'sol-9-u6-x86-v2.iso') from the Sun's website and burned them under Linux.
Now, I have two harddisks partitioned and configured (under Linux) like this:
Primary Master (80 GB)
--------
Part[1] (40 GB): Windows 2000 (NTFS)
Part[2] (20 GB): Shared data (FAT32)
Part[3] (18 GB): Linux backup (ext2)
Part[4] (690 MB): Shared swap
Primary Slave (160 GB)
--------
Part[1] (70 GB): Linux (ext3)
Part[2] (30 GB): FreeBSD (ufs)
Part[3] (20 GB): Solaris (ufs) (marked as 'Solaris boot' (hex code: BE) by Linux's cfdisk)
Part[4] (42 GB): Linux misc stuff (ext3)
The only empty partition is the Solaris' one (/dev/hdb3 under Linux), made a few time ago for other operating systems to try out.
Well, I immediatly booted up first Solaris CD and let the installation begin...
After some steps, the installation tool ('Solaris Interactive' installation) found an 'x86boot' disk (or partition?!?) on 'c0d1p3' (I thought 'controller 0, disk 1, partition 3'... uhm... it sounds right...!) and asked me to keep it or not for future installation. I said 'yes'.
After some other steps, it founds my two harddisks (the first one with about 640 MB of free space left, the other one (the one I want to install Solaris on) with 0 MB free).
Even if the installer needed about 2 GB of Minimum Space Required, I selected the second disk (the 160 GB one) and went on. But when I was asked to make the 'Solaris fdisk partition', I felt sick because I saw that Solaris would like to occupy my *ENTIRE* disk, not the only 20 GB partition reserved to it. I read the help menues and everything around, then I sadly got out of the installer because I didn't know what to do and I don't want Solaris to destroy my other three partitions and all my poor data!!!
What can I do to install Solaris *ONLY* on the third partition of the primary slave disk, maintaining all the rest of the system *UNCHANGED* and *UNTOUCHED*?!?
No problems when I installed FreeBSD (that uses slices and labels), but this is the very first time I tried to install Solaris and I don't know what to do now.
Well... uh... and what can I do if I would like to have Solaris using my 'Shared swap' partition (on primay master disk) instead of creating a new reserved swap partition for it? Swap is a virtual filesystem created on the go, and I'd like to have the same swap partition used by all my OSes (Win2k, Linux and FreeBSD already use it all together).
I'm not afraid to install Solaris, and I'm strongly decided to install it.
I only need a little help because I really don't know what to do at this step!!!
Thank you so much guys for helping me if you can!!!
Bye!
