CD-ROM is now available for VAX, a few of the unix systems, and for desktop ports. The direction is the ship everything on CD ROM, including the documentation once Oracle Bookviewer goes production. Next time you call support to order an upgrade ask them if CD ROM is available, and it's likely that it will be.

Good Luck,
