Sun Solaris 10: How do I create a bootup disc? The Sun website confuses me
Hey there,
I am starting a Computer Science Foundation year at the end of this month and am trying to get a little bit ahead of the game. I have always wanted to learn Unix and am currently struggling with creating a boot disc to run Solaris (I have chosen to study this) from as opposed to installing it on the computer
I have searched google, and read through lots of library books on Unix but they are seem to lack a comprehensive installation guide for dummys like me!
I would be greatful for any advice which someone who has been through it all could contribute and thank you!

NAME
extract_font_range - Extracts a range of characters from a font. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
FONT *extract_font_range(FONT *f, int begin, int end)
DESCRIPTION
This function extracts a character range from a font and returns a new font that contains only the range of characters selected by this
function. You can pass -1 for either the lower or upper bound if you want to select all characters from the start or to the end of the
font. Example:
FONT *myfont;
FONT *capitals;
FONT *fontcopy;
...
/* Create a font of only capital letters */
capitals = extract_font_range(myfont, 'A', 'Z');
/* Create a copy of the font */
fontcopy = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, -1);
...
destroy_font(capitals);
destroy_font(fontcopy);
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it
to avoid memory leaks.
