Do you mean data DVD?

What is a "self-Run iso date"?

The two main programs that would help are...

mkisofs - for creating the filsystem layout

cdrecord - for writing to a disk

"Date DVD" mean is there are some date in DVD disk.
"self-run iso date" mean is after u burn the iso date in a DVD disk, this DVD can self run when u insert to DVD-Rom

What do you mean "self run", do you mean bootable?

Freeware for Solaris and look for "cdrtools" and "mkisofs".

Normally you use pkg_add on Solaris to install a set of files from sunfreeware.

You want to make a bootable CD/DVD? Do you know about Jumpstart?
