Im going about this as follows. Im ripping the iso image from the cd with dd dd if=/dev/acd0 of=file.iso bs=2048 Then, Im mounting the iso image mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /usr/iso-orig/file.iso -u 0 mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /iso ..and copying its contents to disk with cp -R Now, all of the sudden, the /rescue dir grows from 3.5M to 455M so after i copy my scripts to the extracted iso filesystem on my hard disk and try to make an iso I cannot burn the ISO because its way too big. Can anyone help me with this? Im trying to get some kind of autoinstall going ( above just install.cfg with sysinstall ). Thanks --CH
