I downloaded an Oracle installation for Solaris, which is a cpio file, and burned it to disk. &nbsp;It looks something like DiskSetup10g.cpio.<br />
<br />
The most bizarre thing happens. &nbsp;I put it in the Sparc's CD drive and the disk icon comes up but it's recognized a .exe file. &nbsp;In fact, the entire file is renamed to soemthing like oraclede.exe.<br />
<br />
This is so unreal! &nbsp;What do you think the problem is?

Solaris 9 Doesn't correctly recognize file on CD

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
