Note:  Option for freeware is to use "cdrecord" or "cdrw". "cdrw" is a Sun
product which is included in Solaris 8 10/00 or higher

David Foster also handed down some scripts if anyone wants.

Folks,

I am looking into building a bootable jumpstart installation cd-rom.   I
would like to know what kind of recordable CD-rom drive out there.   Does
Sun make its own?   In addition, I would like to know what kind of software
is available to burn the CD-rom and/or just plainly access the recordable
CD-rom.   Thanks in advance.

Daniel
