Solaris Express Release Notes

Solaris Express 2/06 Issues

The following issues apply to the Solaris Express 2/06 release.

Physical Distribution of Solaris Software is Now Only on DVD

Starting with the Solaris 10 1/06 release, Solaris software is only available on DVD media.

Solaris software was first distributed on DVD with the Solaris 8 release. Since then, DVDs have become the most preferred and visible distribution media. With the Solaris 10 3/05 release, a set of convenience CDs was still being provided. However, customers were also notified that the media kit would no longer include physical CDs.

Customers who still require CDs can download CD images from the Sun Download Center. In the future, the Sun Download Center might only offer Solaris software on DVD. At that time, distributions of Solaris Express will also be exclusively on DVD.
