Dear managers,

I got a few responses from guys that told me they had the same problem
and finally burned the DVD on a Windows machine. Urgh! :-( This is not
necessary. I just reread the Solaris download page and got a reference
to a preinstalled tool cdrw.

        cdrw -i /burn/file.iso

did the trick for me. Solaris 10 really rocks!!!

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

  Andreas
