Still use the Last CD, instead of 1st CD, to install.  It gives you better
control to install, and create partitions.  I hate the way Solaris does
auto-patitioning of disk...

Sure variety is good.  Linux certainly forced two UNIX vendors to give out
their OS for free, Sun and SCO.  SCO you cannot download, but for few  US$
for a shipping and handling fee, they will ship OS, Tools and developments
disks.
