You just don’t get installer splash screens like this any more…
Anyway, the first shots from NCSA Mosaic 3.0 on Windows 95 should be going up as we speak.

Old Solaris Patches (Sunsite Mirrors)
sunsite.icm.edu.pl looks to be an old mirror of the pre-Oracle Sunsites. It’s quite useful for patches for older Solaris releases.
To get Internet Explorer 5.0 for Unix (Sparc) running on the Sparc release of Solaris 7 I ended up using:
108376-46: OpenWindows 3.6.1: Xsun Patch (Patch File)
106327-23: SunOS 5.7: 32-Bit Shared library patch for C++ (Patch File)
106950-24: SunOS 5.7: Linker Patch (Patch File)
And voila! Internet Explorer 5.0 for Unix running on the Sparc release of Solaris 7.0
