Just got an installation CD from a vendor and asked our system guy to install the product. We do everything with image catalogs and apparently don't have an optical drive easy to use - I can't respond to any questions as to why that.

So I believe we can create an image catalog, then an image catalog entry with FROMFILE(*NEW) and mount it on a virtual optical device.

Now if we copy the contents of the CD to that image catalog - /QOPT/SOMECDID - either with FTP or a file share - is that virtual CD usable for installing with LODRUN? IIRC, I believe that an IMGCLG IFS object can be copied to a PC - it can be an ISO.

I also gave him an installer for Daemon Tools Lite, which can create an image from the CD.

Just wondering about the alternative I described - I hope well enough described!

Thanks
Vern
