Bootable CD

The problem is the contents of bootable CD's can't be read with normal editor because of this is structured by block files.

Thanks

Re: Bootable CD

To view the directory data in the bootsection of the CD:

lifls -l /dev/dsk/

To extract a particular file from the lif area:
lifcp /dev/dsk/:FILE .

then view with editor of choice:
FILE

Re: Bootable CD

Already done.
The problem is not to access the CD but how to read the block files inside !

Cheers
