I have the DVD iso, but none of our 7 sparc blades has a DVD writer (and nobody over at sunrescue.org had a DVD writer suggestion). The worthless office Windows DVD writer's DVD attempts have succeeded in making anything any of the blades can read.

Hmmm. Isn't there a Solaris10 facility for treating an iso as a virtual DVD?

Is it legal to pay someone to burn a DVD of this iso for us? 

Finally, does anybody have a simple answer to how much does it cost to deal with Oracle to keep up with basic OS bug patches?

3 questions -- 1 email (usually not a smart idea)
