Hi all,

I'm trying to use Linux to solve a problem.

Under HP-UX, there is a product called Ignite-UX, with it I can make a
bootable tape from which to do system recovery.

What I would like to do is make a bootable CD.

The problem, is that my HP box does not have a CD writer, but my Linux
box does.

My steps to create the CD are:

1) Make an image of the tape on the HP box thusly:

    dd if=/dev/rmt/1m of=Ignite1.iso

    /dev/rmt/1m is the device file of the tape drive with the bootable
tape in it

2) ftp the file Ignite.iso over to my linux box

3) use cdrecord to make the bootable CD.

I have to get this done for 8 am tomorrow.

What do you think of this approach, and how do I use cdrecord to make
the CD?

I never actually burned a CD under linux, but I set up the CD writer
already, so setup of the CD writer is not an issue.

your urgent comments and suggestion are awaited,

thanks,

Ahbaid.
