Solaris 10 Installation and Desktop Walkthrough

Posted by timothy on from the drag-out-your-grudges-and-polish-them dept.

linuxbeta writes "On OSDir they've got a whole whack of screenshots of Sun's Solaris 10 from the first boot screen, through an x86 installation, and through either a Java Desktop System 3 or CDE (Common Desktop Environment) 1.6 desktop. It's nice to have a look at Java Desktop System 3 while it's not even available for Linux (yet). I dunno... looks like Linux to me. I know about the licensing issues with Solaris 10, but I think they've got something going on here."

    Gee - it took you 3 attempts to answer basic questions like hostname, IP address and nameserver, select what type of install you wanted and then hit install?

    Can you please point me to where there is such a credential as a certified Solaris Installation Engineer?

    Considering how many people got it going on thousands of machines allready, and your lack of any real detail as to why it failed, the only conclusion to make is you are unable to grasp the concept of using a mouse and keyboard.

    Is someone posting for you?
