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) > Looks like a chicken and egg problem for me. > Is there a way to make the CD image on Solaris or on a PC-Linux ? > (or get it via ftp directly) you can do that. read what he said again. -D
