Thanks for the tip. I am running I believe Solaris 10 U3 on a dual PIII
supermicro mobo. Works fine.

Download the WIndows Server Resource kit, and use the cdburn command
that comes with it to write the ISO block for block onto the DVD.

Had the same problem a couple of times using Sonic RecordNow, but not
since switching to this method.

You shouldn't have two DVDs, just one. If you downloaded the DVD in
two parts, you have to concatenate them into one ISO before burning
it. In Windows, this works:

copy /b sol-10-u5-ga-x86-dvd-iso-a + sol-10-u5-ga-x86-dvd-iso-b sol-10-u5-ga-x86-dvd.iso

Nero works too. You use the `create DVD from image' function. You
have to tell it to display ISO types before you will see the file.

Nero can do it. You just need to use the "Burn Image to Disk" option
under the "Copy and Backup" heading. It expects a .iso file -- if you
downloaded a zipped copy you might need to unzip first, but nothing
more -- you feed Nero a single file .iso file that contains everything.
