Solaris Utility DVD 4.0
I'm proud to announce it is now out gentleman
![]() -Programs Updated -Interface change -Better ordering of bootable content -Bootable content now has help text -Complete subsystem upgrade for better compatability -Menu Crash on older versions now fixed The DVD will come in three different editions Ultimate 7.82GB (DL DVD) Standard 4.25GB (DVD) Lite 621MB (CD) All versions are downloadable from several different mirrors. In .ISO format. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Download Enjoy. ***Short history and Purpose*** A long time ago when i joined TPU I soon realized that their were a hand full of programs that everyone used. Having a slow connection at the time I decided to burn them all to a disk. (1.0) After discussing it in a thread buried long ago by TPU's archive monster a lot of people thought it was a good idea if they already didnt burn things to a disk. Soon after someone told be about the UBCD which had alot of nifty things on it that you can boot into. At that time. i used both my copy as well as UBCD. so i thought hey why not include both. so i made 2.0 with updated programs as well as the ubcd iso. however 2.0 wasnt that usefull as in order to use the UBCD you needed to reburn the iso from it ...still making it 2 disks.....a year or so later i took up 3.0 after seeing GB upon GB of downloads and support from the community i pushed. 3.0 came out as both bootable as well as having autorun. 3.0 included much much more than my previous versions. 3.5 refresh came out a few weeks later to fix issues that appeared in 3.0. After that the support from the community was crazy. As such i started my own site dedicated to it to spread it to more people than just the TPU community. However one thing that was an issue with 3.0 and 3.5 at 4GB some people just couldnt do it. so when 4.0 was conceived different versions were thought of and after discussing it with the community I went along with the idea. I have now made 3 diffirent versions each of which will fit on DLDVD DVD and CD however they all look the same and have much of the same features. The problem was how to make a DL DVD fit on a CD? To do this i had to remove alot of the big files and make internet shortcuts. It worked out fine and in essence the CD had much of the same features as the DL DVD only you had to download most of the windows tools. So in short the purpose of the DVD was made not thought of...and then built upon. the purpose of the disk is simple. it includes a bunch of utilities. from disk defragmentors,antivirus,games all the way to including various linux distrobutions. the point is to make it the ONE disk much like Neo without the name. the disk has the ability in the right hands (but noob friendly) to bring any PC old/new, no OS/OS unstable/stable back to life. to make it a working PC through and through. and thanks to the support every version gets better and better easier and easier. and my hope is not to get praise...or respect. but if it helps ONE just ONE person then it is a success. and if a thread full of people want more. tha n it will be done. so THANK YOU TPU you guys are the reason it is availible to you and others..not me.

Right, You sir are a TPU legend
![]() I tried out your old disk back was it last year? It was brilliant, i like the new features and im certainly going to try this one out. Its all Sols work just off his own back, very much appreciate the work that goes into the disk. I think its one thing everyone should keep handy. If he doesn't have cover art i suggest to help out and its not much but someone could have a go at making a design incorporating some of the things on the disk.

I believe the 3dMarks are exe's for install only. At least it was that way with 3.0.
Sol, thanks for an update. Are there format options in the Hard Disk tools? I need a good boot disc for formatting old machines.
