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!

Ben

MAKEPATTERN(1gmt)					       Generic Mapping Tools						 MAKEPATTERN(1gmt)

NAME
makepattern - make GMT color pattern from b/w pattern or icon SYNOPSIS
makepattern 1bit.ras | iconfile -Cfr/g/b -Cbr/g/b DESCRIPTION
makepattern reads either a Sun 1-bit rasterfile OR a Sun icon file. It then accepts color choices for the foreground and background pixels and colorizes the pattern, writing it as a 8-bit Sun rasterfile on stdout. These patterns may then be used in GMT (3.1 or later) -Gp set- tings or by psimage. 1bit.ras | iconfile Either a 1-bit Sun rasterfile (standard format, no RLE) or a Sun icon file (as used in GMT 3.0). -Cf Sets the color for the foreground pixels (the ones) [black]. -Cb Sets the color for the background pixels (the zeros) [white]. WIN32 fix Since binary redirection under WIN32 does not work, you must specify the output file with -Gnewfile.ras. This option is only available under WIN32. EXAMPLES
To create a colorized red/blue 8-bit Sun rasterfile pattern from the old 3.0-style iconpattern stored in file custom.icon, run makepattern custom.icon -Cfred -Cbblue > custom.ras To create a green/blue 8-bit Sun rasterfile pattern from a 1-bit Sun raster called bits.ras, run makepattern bits.ras -Cfgreen -Cbblue > colorbits.ras SEE ALSO
