Can you point me to any more detailed directions on doing this?  I confess,
so far all my CD-RW usage has been done under Windows.  But, if I make
an ISO under linux, I can still burn it on a windows box.

My specific question is if I just put the files from the sparc directory in the
ISO's 3.0/sparc directory, how does the sun know what to use a kernel from the
CD when I try to boot from that CD?
