I need to produce a device driver kit on a CD-ROM.
We have a CD-ROM burner connected to a PC running Windows NT.
I have produced a driver kit on disk (in the documented my-tree/output
directory structure) on my UNIX development system.
The "Guide to Preparing Product Kits" states that in order to
make a CD-ROM, an ENTIRE HARD DISK ON THE KIT DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM
must be dedicated to creating a kit master...I'm not sure if this
applies only if the CD-ROM burner is connected to the UNIX system?
Does anyone have any experience with doing this
Thanks,
Bob Ferrara

Most of the PC software for writing CDs writes ISO9660 disks, OR clones
SCSI disks.
If you want a "native" UFS CD, you need to create it on a UNIX box on a
normal disk < 650MB (or whatever size CDR you want). You then carry the
disk to your PC and write the CDR from that, using the CDR package's
appropriate tools. So, yes, the disk does need to be dedicated.
You can write CDs direct from UNIX if you don't mind paying $$$ for
CDR packages e.g. Young Minds Inc or Elektroson's GEAR package.
For PC-world stuff there is a CDR FAQ somewhere out on the net. In it
you will find pointers to some freeware which can be used to "clone" a
SCSI disk (normal or CD) onto a CD. You will be needing this if your
package is only capable of ISO9660.
