Creating a Bootable DVD to install Solaris Flash Archive

Hi,

I try to create .iso file with 'mkisofs' command for bootable dvd to install Solaris 10 flash archive from dvd.

I used the following command and options to create:

# mkisofs -R -D -d -L -l -o s9u5.S0 s0

then cat all the files together

# cat dvd.vtoc s0 pad.s0 s1 s2 s3 s4 s5 s6 > solaris10.iso

My question is, the flash archive is only 1.7GB, however when I cat all the files together came out about 4.0GB, the pad.s0 has 1.7GB. Is this right?

If anyone have done this before please give me some suggestions.

Thanks!

wait, you did say your own flash archive -

## ignore ##

you may want to check here instead

http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=8&PartDetailId=Sol9 -U9-DVD-SP-G-F&TransactionId=try

download the segments

cat them all together (as you were going to do) into one file

then cdrw -iO <your file>

and it should burn a nice dvd for you if you're burner is capable

## ignore ##

so long as you have a valid toc and correct segments, you should be ok -

I haven't tried that method, but perhaps someone else has -

my apologies
