Installing OpenSolaris
You have two options for installing OpenSolaris on your workstation:
■
Install OpenSolaris locally (at the workstation) using the LiveCD.
To install OpenSolaris from the LiveCD, refer to the
Getting Started with OpenSolaris
2009.06
guide on the web:
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/2009.06/getstart/
■
Install OpenSolaris over the network using the automated installer.
If you want to install the OpenSolaris operating system (OS) on multiple client systems on a
network, you can use the automated installer (AI) to accomplish that task. The automated
installer performs essentially “hands-free” network installations of the OpenSolaris OS. For
information on using the automated installer, refer to the
OpenSolaris Automated Installer
Guide
