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
