bootable CD

Hey all,

I'm trying to make a backup bootable CD of a solaris 7 machine. I have no idea where to start so I did alot a reading :-) Even though I've done alot of reading I still don't know what is the best way of going about it all.

What I am after as a finished result is a bootable CD (probably more then 1 CD it'll span over) that can be used to restore a box and after the install the system shoudl then have everything where it should be. Like programs etc etc.

has anyone done this before? If so whats the best way to go about it? I keep getting myself lost with all the reading I have done.

Thanks in advanced for the help!

:-)
