Hi,

I downloaded Solaris 10 2 Months ago. How can I identify what version I have 
(without installing)?

Thanks, Helmut

Solaris 10 1/06 was published on 2005/12/22, AFAIK, so it can only be
the FCS (3/05) version. The file name should tell you, too. I have:

  sol-10-u1-ga-sparc-dvd-iso.iso

That's Solaris 10, Update 1 (ie. 1/06), for sparc. The 3/05 version image
file was called sol-10-GA-sparc-dvd-iso.iso.

OK, it seems that I downloaded it *1* month ago...

I think you have sorted out this.

In general, if you compute an md5 checksum on an iso image (takes quite 
a while on slow CPU) and type that into Google, you will usually find a 
hit on it.

sparrow /mnt3 % md5 sol-10-u1-ga-sparc-dvd-iso-a.zip
C69F82621210189EDBC8CCF5711EA820  sol-10-u1-ga-sparc-dvd-iso-a.zip

Google shows 3 hits on that checksum, all confirming its a a part of a 
download for Solaris 10 (none of which are Sun web sites I'm afraid).

Why Sun don't publish m5 checksums for downloads I do not know.

Mount the .iso image, chdir to Solaris_10/Product/SUNWsolnm
and find the etc/release file.

Nice idea :)
