Is the Solaris 11 express disk a DVD or a CD?

Well, that's an oversight on my part. Okay, let's try it this way:

What versions of Solaris are usable with the Sun Blade 100 and how can I go about obtaining and installing them?

I'm reliably (Sun Kernel Writer) informed that the Sun Blade 100 has a SPARC IIe processor, this will probably not run anything above Solaris 2.8 the best bet for a CD copy of this would probably be Ebay.

solaris 10 will run on the blade 100:

Solaris 11, which you appear to have downloaded, requires 64-bit platforms.

Solaris 11 Express supports both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. You might be able to get Solaris Express to run on your hardware. However you are probably better sticking with the latest release of Solaris 10.
