I usually just make a tar file like "solaris.tar" containing all the packages
I need, then burn that to an iso9660-format CDROM.  That way, both a sparc
and a PC can read it (if I need to ftp the packages off a PC for example),
I just put the tarfile on the sparc, and then untar it (which results in
the long filenames).
