Installation Media for HP-UX 11.0

Some weeks ago I started a new thread asking about the number of CDs needed to install HP-UX 11.0 because I only had one CD-Rom:
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1075206&admit=-682735245+1164674246835+28353475

So after the replies in that thread I started rebuilding the system.

Booted with CD and selected "Media only installation"

Then in the next menu I had 3 options:
-HP-UX 11.0 Default (Requires Support Plus CD)
-HP-UX 11.0 Commercial Server (Req. Supp. Pus CD)
-HP-UX 11.0 Technical Computing (Req. Core-options + Support Plus CDs)

So I choose "Default" although I noticed the missing support plus CD, I thought it could be possible to install something else after the OS.

but, after some time copying I got this:

655 of 717 file sets

USER INTERACTION REQUIRED:

To complete the installation you must now insert the "HP-UX 11.00 Support Plus" CD.

1: Retry software load after replacing CD-ROM media.
2: Continue using CD-ROM media. Some or all additional software will not be installed and errors are likely.
3: Run a shell.
4: Terminate installation. The system will require reinstallation.

Of course I couldn't finish the installation, I have to find that damn CD first. So if any of you need to reinstall a box with 11.0 remember you need the OS cd plus the Support cd.
