AFIK, you can not install with only one CD, but it is possible to install a small, but usable system, in case your disk space is limited. You can download the CD set (6 or 7 CDs) and initially install only the minimum (core), that's about 2 to 4 GB I think. You probably want to add some gnu utilities you are familiar with during the installation, at least 'bash, the bourne again shell', 'less', and the manual pages. I assume adding arab localization and language would add too much space and your english seems better than mine ;), so go with the standard 'C' locale. Of course you can set your time zone to Algeria. There are many bugs related to localization, you have been warned. Later, you can manually install more packages with 'pkgadd', or, more convenient, boot from CD and choose "upgrade". Other sources of interest are www.blastwave.org and www.sunfreeware.com. Be warned that on a minimum core system many graphical tools will not work.
Good luck, Paul This message posted from opensolaris.org
