Operating Systems Solaris Virtual mount .image file? Post 302103230 by pondlife on Wednesday 17th of January 2007 05:45:40 AM

Hi Perderabo,

Thanks for this. Sorry I didn't do a search first before posting.

Another question on this; the image that I've now successfully mounted is the Solaris 9 install DVD, how do I now install Solaris 9 onto my spare disk?

There is a file called Installer, which I've run but this only installs Live Upgrade.

Am I attemping to do something that's not possible? Or possibly dangerous?

EDIT: I've found the following which I'm currently reading thru: http://www.petertribble.co.uk/Solaris/isosetup.html - it might be what I'm looking for but seems a little complicated...


Many thanks, p.
