I was desperately looking for Solaris 2.6 for Intel (x86) but couldn't find it. Fortunately I found a software with this Solaris 2.6 box in Ebay and bought it. Now I found the time to upload it elsewere, in this case: https://archive.org/details/solaris-26x-86-cd-1-to-3 ... may be this is something for the OS winworldpc library, too ?

    It looks more complex than tenox version here: http://tenox.pdp-11.ru/os/sunos_solaris/sparc/Solaris 2.6/

    Maybe good idea to add documentation and updates disks there?

    If they are not there, that is: there are are few separate archives with x86 Solaris 2.6, from what I can see.

    It seems you did not look at the archive, the Documentation CD and the Maintenance Update CD #2 is included. Also, as already said, it's not SPARC, it's Intel x86. Installation on a Pentium PC was already successful with it, so it's less complex as you think.
    The Device Configuration Assistant Diskette is also included. Just boot from the Software CD and follow the instructions shown on the screen. All media was read from the CDs and the Diskette of the original media kit box, I have no possibility to scan the paper documentation easily, it would take month for me to do it manually.
    If you think it's better to go on with the tenox version, feel free to do this.

    Yeah, I haven't looked on CDs (did that now), but you obviously haven't looked on link I supplied. Tenox archive is comprehensive but a bit messy. And for some unfathomable reason Solaris 2.6 x86 (yes, x86, not spact!) is in sparc folder.

    Your first ISO file looks identical to what's in the Solaris 2.6 5-98 x86.rar there and second file is identical to Solaris 2.6 Documentation.rar

    I couldn't find update 2 for Solaris 2.6 x86 there, though, but couldn't be 100% sure it's not there because, as I have already said, Tenox archive is a bit of mess.
