Hi everybody,
i want to make backups of my old solaris cds(2.1-2.8).
how to do this under linux(system has dvd-rom) and solaris (only cd-rom)?
under linux i did "cat /dev/hdX > xyz.iso"
will this cover ALL slices on the solaris CD-ROM?
under solaris i did
"/etc/init.d/volmgt stop"
cat /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0s2 >> /xyz.iso
but this only gives me a to small file to be right.
so how to get this done?

Use 'readcd' from cdrecord.

Yes, as long as its on the linux box.

You can't do it this way on Solaris for the Solaris CD's (although
almost all other CDs should be fine with this method). The other
poster already gave you the solution with readcd.

Also -- doesn't:
dd if=/dev/rds.c0t6d0s2 of=/xyz.iso bs=51200
work fairly well? (Without the bs=51200 should work as well, but should
be much slower. :-)
Enjoy,
