Installing OpenSolaris
You have two options for installing OpenSolaris on your workstation:
Install OpenSolaris locally (at the workstation) using the LiveCD.
■
To install OpenSolaris from the LiveCD, refer to the Getting Started with OpenSolaris
2009.06 guide on the web:
Install OpenSolaris over the network using the automated installer.
■
If you want to install the OpenSolaris operating system (OS) on multiple client systems on a
network, you can use the automated installer (AI) to accomplish that task. The automated
installer performs essentially "hands-free" network installations of the OpenSolaris OS. For
information on using the automated installer, refer to the OpenSolaris Automated Installer
Guide on the web at:
