    Thanks to Jeffrey (again).
    I have been advised that the Windows xp cd writer isn't up to writing CD's for Unix , so I will see if I
    can get our engineers to create an ISO-9660 image with another tool.
    I am also trying the installupdate from 5.1 to 5.1A .
    In multiuser mode I can mount the 5.1A CD to /dev/disk/cdrom0a and browse the contents
    but not in single user - using /sbin/installupdate /dev/disk/cdrom0a fails.
