Hi,
I never tried your method. I use dvd.
But I think what Godmode trying to say is that, the cdrom contains an 'installer' file and you should use it. Launch the file by browsing to your cdrom either on your desktop shortcut or use command:
$ cd /cdrom/cdrom0
$ ./installer

5. UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers
I know that Sun make s a version of Solaris for Sparc platforms and also an x86 (Intel/AMD) release of Solaris. Can an application that runs on Solaris/Sparc also run on a PC running the x86 release of Solaris? Would a different release be required or any re-compling of the application?

Is there a way to install Solaris 10 x86 with an external DVD drive that connects through the USB port? I would think I would run GRUB off of a floppy disk and somehow use that to make it look to the USB port to boot from but I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me out? (1 Reply)

MCDP(1) User commands MCDP(1)
NAME
mcdp - a small cdplayer for linux
SYNOPSIS
mcdp [/dev/some-cdrom-device]
DESCRIPTION
The command mcdp is used for playing AudioCD's. It has a curses like userinterface and is fairly simple to use.
OPTIONS
There is only one optional option - a cd device, e.g. /dev/cdrom2.
KEYS
KEY DESCRIPTION
# play track number # (0,1..9)
cursor up fast forward
cursor right slow forward
cursor left slow rewind
cursor down fast rewind
space next track
b/B previous track
S/s toggle start/stop
P/p toggle pause/resume
E/e eject cdrom device
C/c close cdrom device
R/r redraw screen
M/m change playmethod (-/+)
+/- change trackmodifier (+/-)
</> change audio volume of cdrom device (-/+)
Q/q quit mcdp
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
CDDA_DEVICE Reserved or later :)
CDROM Try this cdrom as default (if unset, CDROM_DEFAULT
from params.h is used).
CDDB_PATH path to your local cddb files (if unset, _no_ cddb titelinfo
is displayed)
CDDB_SERVER IP:PORT of a freedb server (if unset, only local cddb
stuff is used, if it exists in $CDDB_PATH/$discid).
LOGNAME Is used for remote cddb login.
HOSTNAME Is used for remote cddb login too.
FILES
$HOME/.workmandb Is used (first) for reading wmdb entries.
$CDDB_PATH/* Is used for reeading/writing cddb entries.
RETURN VALUES
0 no errors occured / normal quit
1 the given cd-device isn't a cd-device
2 your cd seems to be sth. other then a CD-Audio or CD-Mixed
3 some error while processing terminal code
NOTES
Some terminals don't like the default escape-sequences from params.h ... if so, you have to edit them ! Successfully tested terminals are
vt100, linux, xterm, xterm-color.
If you haven't direct access to a freedb server, you may use some port redirector program ... see freshmeat.
If you have devfs, mcdp will try /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, else /dev/cdrom is tried!
