Use your existing Solaris (or move cdrom drive temporarily to another host with some Unix) & read the cdrom image to hard disc, something like dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2k of=bsd.iso md5 bsd.iso compare the MD5 with CHECKSUM.MD5 Warning: some cdrom device drivers return 1 x 2048 byte sector too many, so you may need to trim before md5, with dd count=some_number - Julian Stacey Consultant Systems Engineer, Munich. http://berklix.com Mail in Ascii (Html=Spam).
