Just remembered that OSDir.com has a set of screenshots (95 in all) showing a step-by-step instruction of how to install Solaris 10 (& play with): http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/slideshow.php?release=279&slide=3 If you are a Solaris newbie, my (painful) experience is, make sure that you know what each and every slide means before braving yourself into the Solaris installation. For example, even if you are installing on a stand-alone machine, if you are using a cable modem or DSL to connect to the internet, make sure that you select the "Networked" option when asked about "the network option for your system" (see slide 8). Otherwise, you will never ever be able to go on-line. (Because almost everyone here will think you are such an idiot--my own experience--no one really knows where to start to answer your question.) Personally, I would appreciate our demigods at blastware.org could kindly provide screenshots to guide the way as to how to access this supposedly wonderful service. I know it should be very obvious, and there are HOWTOs which are clearly self-explanatory. But there are a bunch of us with way below average IQ who don't even know where and how to ask meaningful questions.
