Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 10 Installation Post 302118452 by Xannen on Tuesday 22nd of May 2007 06:01:17 AM
Old 05-22-2007
I have read on USB mounting and so forth. However, I still feel reluctant in taking action as I am still unfamiliar with it and not confident.

Just to help you understand. I have always been a windows user. Unix is totally new to me. I mean I don't even fully how windows OS operate on lower level. Like I know that the c:\windows folder hold the system's settings. c:\program hold software you install. c:\document obvious holds documents you created from MS word, excel etc...

That pretty much sums up my OS ability and understanding...

If anything I am after better and more detailed explanation. For example this guide: Solaris 10 Installation is the type of material that is helpful to me. It explains the procedure slowly in plain english, I feel much more comfortable following this guide.

I also tried to look around the site (from the above guide) to see if it gives other guides to solaris. However, the installation guide is all that I could find.

Here is my plan and progress so far. I have successfully installed Win XP Pro and Solaris 10 11/06.

In terms of Win XP, I have no problem using it, navigating through it, installation of other programs, running Java etc...

However, Solaris 10, the unix OS... I am so lost... My goal for it so far is to:

detect and use USB drive
connect to a router network system
get familiar with using applications in Solaris, e.g. running *.exe file. (I try doubling such files and nothing happens... I'm puzzled and scared :S)
using internet
understanding the file system

So it's just the basic usage and necessity of using a computer.

If anything could explain help me out by explanation or linking me to a very good source for newb, much is appreciated.
