Creating cds from downloaded iso-images fails

Post by Christoph Bai » Wed, 11 Apr 2001 03:31:51


Hi,
is anyone out there who downloaded the current version of Solaris as
zipped iso-images and successfully created cd-roms? On my pc it doesnt
work, especially with the two application discs and the european
doc-disc. Nero burning rom locks up when starting the process. CloneCD
says that the system was unable to find the file, and when trying to
show information about the image file it works for minutes using lots of
ram (approx. 200 MB)  and finaly quits with the same message. The unzip
apps dont report any errors. Does anyone have an email adress of sun
support?
Tia for any suggestions!
Christoph

Yep, works fine, takes forever to download.... used easycd-3.5c on NT.
Renamed the gawdawfullylonghorrendouslylengthy Sun names to xxxxx.iso.
Specified it as an iso file and write at once until done and close cd.
Used a sun cdrom on various sparc hardwares.

Been happy ever since.....(:+}}...  Thanks, Sun!

1. Creating CD from ISO image?

Hey all...

I searched this newsgroup for an answer before I posted so please
don't hammer me for asking.

I am trying to burn a copy of RH7 from the ISO images downloaded from
ftp.freesoftware.com using my Mac but am having some issues.
(The only good use of a PC is with Linux installed on it.)

I have a a Mac 8500, 132Mhz, 304Meg RAM, all SCSI drives, and a SCSI
Smart &Friendly SAF759 burner. I'm using Adaptec Toast 3.5.7 and
haven't had an issue making Mac CD's in the past.

This is the first time I have tried to make an ISO CD and am not sure
how to go about it. I did RTFM but it focused more on how to build
hybrid Mac/ISO9660 cd's, and only then, building them from scratch. It
also appears that when they talk about building a CD from an image,
they are talking about making it from a Mac disk image.

When I tried to follow what I thought they were saying, the progress
bar just froze. There didn't appear to be any CD activity although the
hard drive light stayed on for a while. When I checked the CD, it was
still unburned and had no content.

Anyone have any experience / advice?

Thanks,

--->Rob
