It could take a long time. CAT is a little slow with anything other than text files. It would be nice if there was an option to NOT dump output to the console and do it all silently.
You can check the size of your .iso file to see how far along it is.
I don’t think you did it right if you see it on the screen. You need to do it all as one big file! You’re 'cat’ing it as one command and not many lines, right? Otherwise, it will display onscreen and never write to the file. cat sol-10-u2-ga-x86-dvd-iso-a sol-10-u2-ga-x86-dvd-iso-b sol-10-u2-ga-x86-dvd-iso-c sol-10-u2-ga-x86-dvd-iso-d sol-10-u2-ga-x86-dvd-iso-e > sol-10-GA-sp-dvd.iso The “>” part redirects the output to a file rather than to the terminal.
well i pressed the reset button (on case) @ about 14:05, cos i got fed up of waiting, it was running for over 20 hours

so how should i rebuild the .iso from the 5 parts, i got the command cat sol-10-u2-ga-x86-dvd-iso-a sol-10-u2-ga-x86-dvd-iso-b sol-10-u2-ga-x86-dvd-iso-c sol-10-u2-ga-x86-dvd-iso-d sol-10-u2-ga-x86-dvd-iso-e > sol-10-GA-sp-dvd.isofrom Solaris site
That command should work. I think that even when you are dumping to a file, the input is displayed. Open a new tab in konsole, if that is what you are using and try it again. Then you can just ignore it for a few days
