The version that I use is the regular cdrecord from Jörg's site. Nothing special.

Yes, I also use star as a replacement for tar or cpio.

Wow. How much data does it take? > I have a few different types of pocket sized 80mm DVD media. The one that I use as my standard is a SONY dual sided DVD-RW which is rated at 2.8GB in total with 1.4GB per side. I also have Verbatim DVD-RW and Maxell DVD-R all at 1.4GB. These are nice small media that can hold all of Solaris 10 Update 2 on two of dual sided disks. When I was at the LinuxWorld show in Toronto I carried in Solaris on a 80mm DVD and asked the hardware vendors to "boot this" as a test. Most of them were surprised to see an 80mm bootable DVD. They were not happy that it was not Linux. Too bad for them. -- Dennis Clarke _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
