- Solaris 7
Solaris Interactive is on the first CD. Boot it, select
Solaris interactive
- Solaris 8
On the Solaris 8 CDs the interactive installer is on
the first software CD. You don't need the install CD at
all.
The Solaris installation itself is quite straight
forward. One thing that might be confusing is the
partitioning. Solaris will automatically use all the free
space on your hard disk, and create it's own virtual disk in
it. And when it comes to slicing up your virtual disk, donīt
forget to add space for Solaris/Linux exchange. A good place
for this is an extra /export/share partition.
Please Note: If you abort during the Solaris installation,
the MBR of your hard disk may already be overwritten and you
may not be able to boot from the hard disk at all.
I couldn't get Web-Start to work at all. Please mail me if
you have any experience using it.
However, once Solaris was installed, I had no problems
adding web-start-packages
Solaris standard installation doesn't even have a
less command. Some people recommend getting the
Redhat Package Manager (RPM) for Solaris, but the standard
packaging tool will usually do it. You can find many nice
packages at
http://www.sunfreeware.com
The standard packages can be used with
pkgadd <package>, and the web-start
packages with
java <packagewithoutclassextension>
