I didn't catch it the first time around, but you say that it's a "a 1ghz 256M PC" and you can only run with CLI and not CDE. The CDE needs 512M of RAM to run, I remember seeing that in the installation process (at least once of the many times that I had to install/re-install). You might want to check out the Sun Forum to verify, but I am pretty sure this is why you can't run the CDE.
