Hi, I have gotten pretty far with a sun enterprise 2 server over the =
recent weeks. Thanks to everyone who helped me get where I am. I just =
recently was able to NFS mount the sun to a freebsd server without any =
problems.

I have downloaded the 3 files from sun's website for installing solaris =
8 (installation CD , 2 software CD's). These files are in ISO 9660 =
format, which means I have to burn these to CD's. Is there anyway I can =
convert these ISO's back to UFS format? Burning CD's is possible, but I =
am having compatibility problems with 2000 and my HP burner.=20

I assume once I get the CD rom mounted, I can share the CD rom and boot =
the sun with "boot net --install" or something similar. I would =
appreciate any steps and clarification given!

Thanks!

Mike
