hello. I'm a new-bie to the solaris system administation
and wanted to burn an image of a program to a cd-rom
without using the tools provided by vendors for this
purpose. Would there be a way to make an image of
the Unix File System and then burn it to a cd-rom ?
Thanks in advance.

What exactly are you trying to make an image of ? The entire filesystem ?
