But the Solaris installer doesn't read the data at that rate. If it
got the drive going then it would be fine, but it spends half its
time jumping all over the place, and even when doing nothing but reading
a simple data stream it's at a very much slower rate. The problem
is in the install process being slow, not in how fast the media is.
And it uses the media in a way which is particularly bad for
DVDs.
Could you be a bit more specific please?
each package contains a large file and quite a few small files; so
there are more seeks than necessary.
And to finish it all of is bzip2; bzip2 is nowhere near fast enough
to keep the DVD spun up.
BTW 7Zip (p7zip.sourceforge.net) can generate gzip (and other)
archives that compress
5%-10% more than gzip itself. And gunzip can still be used to
decompress such archives
and will run marginally slower than gunzip on normal gzipped archives.
