Darn. I hate Oracle so much. LOL

Does any have the full patches for Solaris 7,8,9 ? So at least I an have a local copy on my server for personal use for my machines. 
Regards,

As support from Sun/oracle has finished would it be possible to create a patch server online that users could hace access too with all the patches. Something like when sun solve was around.
