Creating a Jumpstart DVD


Hi! I was wondering if someone could provide some advice on the possibility of performing a jumpstart install off the DVD. I am really interested in placing a sysidcfg file onto a Solaris 10 05/08 dvd rom and jumpstarting some servers in our DMZ that cannot get to our internal jumpstart box. Can someone please offer some advice or experience on how to perform this. I would assume it would require extracting the dvd contents to a directory adding a sysidcfg file and re-building the files back into a .iso for burning.


Thanks.

Hey There,

It would be pointless, and presumptious, for me to re-word what this guy's already done

Check out this link that pretty much walks you through the process. Very detailed.

Hope that helps you out
