For Solaris you need the whole set of CD's for installation. There is no 'apt-get' kind of tool which would allow to install rest of the packages after minimal set of packages installed.
However Solaris Express (old installer) allows you to have packages located at HTTP / FTP / NFS location . So while installing from first CD it asks for package location. But there is no online HTTP / FTP repository that you can point it to . If you have two machines you can copy all the contents of DVD into a NFS / FTP / HTTP location and pass it on while installing Solaris. If your worried about downloading you can order DVD from http://get.opensolaris.org/ . ~ Pradhap.D On 10/10/07, belahcene <abelahcene at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > I am very new to solaris system, I use debian, sometimes I need to > migrate to solaris. > Can I get opensolaris on ONE CD (DVD is to big for me), just to practice > and learn. > I tried to install the onlive belenix 0.6.1, I have a problem to boot > after installation, there is a bug in the grub loader, I consulted the > www.sun.com/msg/SUNOS-8000-AK, I followed exactly the procedure, the > problem remains the same. > > So I left for a while belenix, and look for another one. > > Can I use just the first CD of solaris express and complete it later > "a-la-debian" with package tool ? > > Thanks > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > opensolaris-help mailing list > opensolaris-help at opensolaris.org > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
