I got these ISO's from an old FTP site. The dates on the files match (Dated 2004/10) and it's referred to as version sol10_69 internally and Solaris 10 Beta 7. However, as I'm currently installing it, I have no screenshots. I'd say that this has a 95% chance of being real, but I can't find any info on this. (Because it was closed-source, unlike Solaris 11, most likely.)
Is anyone interested in this?

Re: (OFFER) Solaris 10 Beta 7
Yes, I am interested in any Solaris beta ISO. These ISOs are rare and not available on the high surface Web, but rather in random obscure FTP's. I currently have no Solaris beta ISOs, and I don't know if this would be accepted on the FTP. Mind sharing the address of the FTP you found this on so we can check the betas out and see if they are real?

That's the address of the FTP that has, among other things, Solaris 8 07/01 (Update 5, and coincidentally, the month and year I was born
), Solaris 9 12/02 (Update 2, only CDE included, GNOME was not added till Update 4) and the aforementioned beta.

Re: (OFFER) Solaris 10 Beta 7
I already checked this FTP, no other new Solaris releases on it. Anyway, thanks for providing these rarities! Even though they probably won't be accepted to the FTP, at least they deserve preservation of some sort! This is another great example of how Solaris beta software can be hard to find. Finding references to builds in dead FTP's, e-mails and bug reports, is nothing unusual. It is common to find them.Courage wrote:194.187.207.214/pub/unix/SUN

PS: That b106 is more likely 01/06, which refers to Solaris 10 Update 1.
