thanks
Hi geoquest,
To make sure I have this right, you donwloaded Star Office for Solaris Intel Platform and now you want to burn the .bin file using Win2k? Not sure why you would be having trouble. The .bin file is an executable file which unpacks itself on your Solaris machine so that you can install SO. You should be able to burn this file to cd using whatever cd burning package you have on your pc (Roxio, Nero etc). Are you concerned that Solaris wouldn't be able to read the cd if you burned it with Win2k? I don't think this would be a problem. I'm not well versed on the differences in CDFS file formats but I would think the standard ISO9660 or whatever should work fine.

Sorry if I wasn't any help. Figured I'd take a stab.

Take care,
Gatton
