Yes, when you install solaris you will be able to set the root password. It is part of the install procedure, I'm just not sure exactly what step it occurs. It may be before the packages are downloaded from the CD to the hard drive, but it may be after.

If you decide you don't like the setup you have you can always boot of the CD and install it again. Installing Solaris from CD should work the same whether the system is completely blank, has an older Solaris version, or a previous Solaris 10 installation. The install CD doesn't care.

Good luck,
Ralph

NAME

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       tures available.
