[osol-mktg] Re: Most advanced OS on the planet

Well, I'm sorry, but I am not trying to mount empty CD-RW media here. Eventhough I'm new to Solaris, I am not new to unix, so I knew that man can't mount empty discs.

I downloaded Sunstudio 11 to this particular disk on some internetconnected machine and wanted to install this on Solaris. But Solaris choked on this disk and another CD-RW disk in quite an odd way, in my opinion. It should be possible to eject the disc without using cdrecord. It shouldn't be the case that the device comes into a 'not ready state' just because it has a disc on board which it doesn't  recognize. When that does happen though, the machine must be rebooted, before the device returns to "ready state", now, this is hardly advanced to my taste. 

Anyway, the workaround was that I transfered the data on a windows machine and wrote it back to a DVD+RW disk (Philips), which Solaris recognized just fine. Thanks for your help. I have to be careful with Solaris.
