Could you point me in the right direction?
Many software packages can be downloaded in the form of an ISO image. ISO images can also be created from CD and saved as ISO images:
$ cat /dev/somecd > somename.iso
Rather than burning the image to a CD-ROM to access its contents, it is easy to mount the image directly into the filesystem... (0 Replies)

pkg2du(1M) System Administration Commands pkg2du(1M)NAME
pkg2du - convert driver packages to Driver Update format
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/pkg2du [-f] [-v] [-d dir] [-o iso] [-l label]
[-r release] pkg [pkg ...]
DESCRIPTION
The /usr/bin/pkg2du utility takes one or more packages as input and converts them to Driver Update (DU) format. If the -d option is speci-
fied, the resulting DU directory tree is placed in the directory dir. If the -o option is specified, a Solaris ISO image of the DU direc-
tory tree is written in the file iso. The ISO image can be burned onto CD/DVD using cdrw(1) or cdrecord(1) (not a SunOS man page) and used
during Solaris installation.
At least one of the -d and -o options must be specified. If both are specified, then both an ISO image and a directory tree are generated.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d dir
Directory where the DU directory should be created.
-o iso
Create a Solaris ISO image of the DU directory.
-f
If dir/DU or iso exists, remove it without asking first.
-l label
Label/volume name of the ISO image (if -o option is specified).
-r release
Solaris release number to use. It takes the form of the return from uname -r command, for example, 5.10. If unspecified, the release
number of the currently running Solaris is used.
-v
Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
pkg [pkg...]
One or more packages to be converted to DU format.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Creating a DU CD/DVD
The following commands create a DU CD or DVD containing packages SUNWfoo and SUNWbar.
# /usr/bin/pkg2du -r 5.10 -o my.iso SUNWfoo SUNWbar
# /usr/bin/cdrw -i my.iso
