Hey,

I have created an mksysb image on my AIX machine, but there's no cd
writer connected to it.
Can I burn the image on another machine? I have a lot of Windows and
Linux machines around. Can I burn the images on cd using one of these?
And if yes, what is the best program to do this? And can I also make
the image bootables?

Thnx,

Wouter

On AIX 4.3.3 and newer you can create bootable cd images with mkcd. See
/usr/samples/oemcdwriters and the manpage for mkcd.

I do it all the time. I use ezcd creator. Just ftp it to the windows
pc that has the cd writer on it. You may have to add the .iso
extension for ezcd creator to recognize the file as an iso image. Be
sure to test a the cd after you burn it to make sure it is bootable.
I remember having some problem depending upon the ftp method. I found
using Internet Explorer on the windows box works reliably as an ftp
client for this purpose.
