Xcdroast on Linux

ghouliajoolia · 09-01-2004, 07:35 AM

Does anyone know if you can burn a cdrom on Linux with Xcdroast and have it be readable on a Solaris system? I cant seem to figure out how to do it. If this is possible, could someone please explain how it is done. Thanks!!!!!!

Is your cd drive on the Sun box physically able to read a cd-r? It may be too old, what model Sun box is it?

I have burned cd from Linux and read them under Solaris with no issues.

Hi...thanks for responding.

It's an Ultra 10. I can read the disks on other PC hardware (running both Linux and Windows). When I put it into the Sun drive, the drive wont read it and it also causes the drive to lock up. I have to use the paper clip method of opening it. I know the drive is good, as I have loaded Sun disks into it and it functions normally.

I ask because our ultra 5s cannot read some burned disks. If you have a new sun box, like a sunfire, try it there. I would try burning a new disk, use a cd-r not a cd-rw.

If you don't have to boot to it, I would load the cd up on the linux box, share it out, and mount it up to the sun box.

Yes..you are right. I can read the same cdrom on a newer Sun box but not on the Ultra 10.

Thanks for helping me figure this out!!!
