What I was trying to say is that I can open folders and files on the CD. I am not sure however that the CDs are ok, but I have burnt them myself on 2 deferent burners on 2 different machines using both Roxio and Nero. I also got NERO to do a verify afterwards. > > Best be really sure your box can read the installation media. > 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 Thanks Julian, I'll try that.
