" From: "Lewis, Ben \(Ben\)" <[email protected]> " " >Downloading Solaris 10 CD ISO's (I don't have a DVD burner) over a " >512/512 DSL is damn slow though... argh! " " That was the trouble I had, the download took ages. how impatient you youngsters get! ;^> queue up the d/l, then walk away and do something else for a while! back in the late '80s, the project i was on required regularly downloading fresh 1Mb system builds over a serial line. this took several hours, and for some reason we didn't have any error correction, so you could spend all day and still not have a good load. -fast- modems were 1200 and 2400 baud. more recently, but before i got my 768/128 dsl, i downloaded s8 isos over a dialup; even at v.34 speeds it took several nights. now that was slow! " I managed to " download all 5 .iso files and cat them together into one big file to " burn onto DVD. However even though that DVD would boot, the installer " told me it couldn't find the files for the second disk so I ended up " burning five separate CDs. i think you'd have to do something more subtle than just catting the .isos together to make a single dvd image. perhaps a multisession dvd, with each .iso a session? something to make them appear to be separate slices or 'tracks'. or you could loopback-mount the images and use mkisofs to combine their contents into a dvd image. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen [email protected] and think what none thought
