Hi Matt, You mentioned that you to run GNOME on your SPARC system. I just want to point out that only 1 SPARC frame buffer is support in OpenSolaris at this time. So, depending on whether the frame buffer on your system is supported, you might or might not be able to use GNOME.
See the OpenSolaris HCL to find out whether your hardware is supported. http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/os/ --Karen On 02/16/10 11:56, Keith Mitchell wrote: > The easiest method would be to: > > pkg install babel_install > pkg uninstall babel_install slim_install > > This will result in an environment much like what's given by the liveCD. > > On 02/16/10 11:48 AM, Matt Hatley wrote: >> I hate asking such a baby bird question, I was hoping for a pointer, >> some procedures, even a "look here" RTFM is welcome :). >> >> On the TTY installer page >> (http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+caiman/Text+Install+b131+Notes), >> >> it says: >> >> "Gnome packages are not installed (but can be added later using pkg(1))" >> >> Was wondering, can anyone point me to some docs or provide a simple >> set of procedures to add GNOME, GDM, etc., so that a functional >> windowing system will work on SPARC after a TTY install, please?
