The short answer is that the "Developer" choice provides a simplified installer, a set of automatic defaults for most questions (including enabling DHCP by default), and automatic installation of a set of development-related tools (such as the Sun Studio tools). The other path is the traditional Solaris install. > I will be finishing installation of the "Express" version tomorrow, > and am expecting to lack the whole gnome windowing system. It depends on which metacluster you choose to install. There's a point where you can choose to install a "reduced networking" amount of software, "user," "developer," or "full." > Would there be someone kind enough to let me know the basic steps to install > this package manually ? Which package? GNOME? It's not just one package; it's a bunch of them. I'd recommend strongly going with one of the default metaclusters. Otherwise, you have to pick and choose packages and clusters, and it requires a lot of effort and understanding of the software itself to do that. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
