On the following screens, you can accept the defaults or you can customize
how Solaris software will be installed by:
- Selecting the type of Solaris software to install
- Selecting the disks to hold software you've selected
- Selecting unbundled products to be installed with Solaris
- Specifying how file systems are laid out on the disks
After completing these tasks, a summary of your selections (called a
profile) will be displayed.
There are two ways to install your Solaris software:
- "Standard" installs your system from a standard Solaris Distribution.
Selecting "Standard" allows you to choose between initial install
and upgrade, if your system is upgradable.
- "Flash" installs your system from one or more Flash Archives.
