ORACLE ships the same distribution CD for many different platforms (Solaris, DEC , etc)

This cross-platform CD is compliant with some kind of cross-platform standard for CD-ROMs.

Now, in your specific case, I know that HP-UX 10, I believe, is NOT compliant to that universal CD-Rom format standard.

You definitely ought to call ORACLE and inquire about this, as I know that a friend of mine had the same problem where ORACLE is shipping the distribution CD according to a universal format that HP does not YET comply with....

Sorry I had to post, my post office could not find your address...
