   I've written this and checked it.  Oliver should reply to the user
   who suggested it in suggest.

   It turns out that Sun isn't distributing CD images of Solaris 9 early
   access yet, but I talked to Avelino who says that the images
   themselves are ready, and that he'll burn me copies and send them to
   me via snail mail.   I'll let miki know when they arrive.

   In the meantime, I downloaded what they are distributing from their
   web site; it's available via NFS from st:/u2/sol-9-beta-sparc/.
