[Suns-at-Home] I need GIMP

I use Solaris 10 on an Ultra-2.

Now I want to install GIMP, but it is only available on the Companion DVD  
(they say the individual packages are not available yet, though they are  
available for Solaris 8/9). Sadly, I cannot even read, let alone burn,  
DVDs.

Does anybody have a copy of the Solaris 10 Companion DVD from which they  
could extract the GIMP package and mail it to me?

Alternatively, if I download the DVD to disc (1.2GB - probably 3GB when  
unzipped), is there any way to extract an individual package from it  
without burning a DVD first? Experiments with a file copy of one of the  
Solaris 10 CDs indicate that you cannot mount it from a file, because that  
file is not a 'block' device.

Alternatively again, what is the availability of DVD burners? It has to  
have a SCSI interfact, because of the Ultra-2.
