THE ORIGINAL QUERY
I've been trying with scant success to get Sun (telephone, WWW site,...)
to tell me what software is bundled into, and what software is excluded
from, each of the many varieties of Solaris 2.5.1.
Solaris Desktop
Solaris Base Server
Solaris Workgroup Server
Solaris Application Server
Solaris Enterprise Server
Solaris Software Developer's Kit
Solaris Driver Developer's Kit
Does anybody out there know? Or know where the information can be got?

Have you tried your friendly local Sun sales person? Or how about
SunExpress (800) 873-7869?

The Solaris CD is the same CD in the Desktop or Server kit. When using
this CD it doesn't prompt you for any of the other CD's - they're all
extra packages that you install individually. So you can still build a
"server" config using the CD from the desktop kit.
The extra CD's you get with the Solaris 2.5.1 "server" kit include:
CDE 1.0.2
Wabi 2.2
Solstice Disksuite 4.0
* Solstice Backup 4.2 (aka Legato Networker)
Administrator Answerbook
Solaris NIS Server Kit
* Solstice Adminsuite
Hardware CD - answerbook, SunVTS (diagnostics)
* Solarnet PC Protocol Services 1.1
* == requires a license from Sun, you just get the software.
I've included the announcement message from last year that describes
everything you get.
Note that with Solaris 2.6 there is only one kit that ships and you are
trusted to only install the desktop stuff if you buy a desktop license :-)

The Sun document that G.S. sent me is much longer than what you see
here. I removed all the parts that don't pertain to my question, and
also a lot of needless whitespace. -fp
