You might take a look at the Getting Started Guide (http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/IPS/getst1.html) to help get going.
So, I am barely ahead of you in this process, as I am also trying to install OpenSolaris on a Windows laptop. I want to set it up so that I can dual-boot to either Windows or OpenSolaris. (I think this is what you're after, right?) Here is what I've learned thus far, which might be helpful to you. * I did the same thing you did (i.e., looked on the CD for an install program), but there's no install.exe you can launch from the CD. Instead, you need to set your laptop to boot from the CD drive. (You might need to adjust the BIOS settings to look at the CD drive before the local disks during boot.) * Once you can boot from the CD drive, insert the OpenSolaris CD and reboot the laptop. When it comes back up, it should be running the OpenSolaris Live CD, which will display the OpenSolaris desktop. You can then install OpenSolaris by selecting the Installer icon on the Live CD desktop. * Note about where to install: If Windows is not already using anything on that E drive, I think you should be able to install OpenSolaris there. However, if Windows is using anything on that drive, you'll need to use some partitioning tool to carve out a place on the disk for OpenSolaris to be installed. (This is the step I'm working through myself...I need to partition my disk so I have a place to install OpenSolaris without affecting Windows.) Hope this helps. Will let you know as I learn more. (Experts out there, please clarify if I'm steering in wrong direction.) This message posted from opensolaris.org
