BFF to ISO conversion
Hi,
I did a search but could not find this.I have some bff images of AIX 5.3 and VIOS as well on my windows laptop. I need to create their iso images so that I could load them onto the lpars.
I cant ftp/scp etc these images to the box.
I also cant copy them to CD and mount them on the AIX to create iso images.
At this point the only option I have is to try and convert them to iso on my windows box but am not sure how.
How would that work? Any specific software that I could use?
Thanks for your help.

I just had someone ask me for AIX 4.3.3 media; I used to have it, but the disks got thrown out a couple of years ago when we moved between buildings.
Does anyone have 4.3 ISO's handy, or would be willing to make ISO images for me?

fuseiso
FUSEISO(1) General Commands Manual FUSEISO(1)
NAME
fuseiso - FUSE module to mount ISO filesystem images
SYNOPSIS
fuseiso [options] <ISO image> <mount point> [FUSE library options]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the fuseiso command.
fuseiso provides a module to mount ISO filesystem images using FUSE.
With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem in a userspace program.
fuseiso can read ISO, BIN and NRG images containing ISO9660 filesystems. Along with it, it supports some common extensions, like Joliet,
RockRidge and zisofs.
It also supports non-standard images, like CloneCD's IMGs and Alcohol 120%'s MDFs, as their format looks exactly like BIN images. One major
limitation of BIN images is that fuseiso does not handle CUE files in any way, and thus can only work with the first track of those images.
Other formats like CCD and MDS are not supported, since their format is not public and no one knows it.
OPTIONS
-n Do not maintain ~/.mtab.fuseiso.
-p Maintain mount point, create it if it doesn't exist and delete it on exit.
-c iocharset
Specify iocharset for Joliet filesystems.
-h Prints an help screen.
Common FUSE library options
-f Run in foreground, do not daemonize.
-d Run in foreground and print debug information.
-s Run single-threaded.
