Uh, to make a bootable CD you need ultralinux or sparclinux. To install
ultralinux you only need a machine you can run ftpd or nfs on to export
the rpms, and a machine you can tftp boot from. (if it's solaris, use
rarpd/ethers, if a pc linux system, use arp and rarp to set up. i'm sure
there are instructions around somewhere)
