|
||
The Solaris installation itself is quite straight
|
||
forward. One thing that might be confusing is the
|
||
partitioning. Solaris will automatically use all the free
|
||
space on your hard disk, and create it's own virtual disk in
|
||
it. And when it comes to slicing up your virtual disk, don´t
|
||
forget to add space for Solaris/Linux exchange. A good place
|
||
for this is an extra /export/share partition.
|
||
<P>Please Note: If you abort during the Solaris installation,
|
||
the MBR of your hard disk may already be overwritten and you
|
||
may not be able to boot from the hard disk at all.

|
||
|
||
<P>I couldn't get Web-Start to work at all. Please mail me if
|
||
you have any experience using it.
|
||
<P>However, once Solaris was installed, I had no problems
|
||
adding web-start-packages

|
||
|
||
<P>Solaris standard installation doesn't even have a
|
||
<CODE>less</CODE> command. Some people recommend getting the
|
||
Redhat Package Manager (RPM) for Solaris, but the standard
|
||
packaging tool will usually do it. You can find many nice
|
||
packages at
|
||
<A HREF="http://www.sunfreeware.com">http://www.sunfreeware.com</A>
|
||
The standard packages can be used with
|
||
<CODE>pkgadd <package></CODE>, and the web-start
|
||
packages with
|
||
<CODE>java <packagewithoutclassextension></CODE>
