Operating Systems Solaris Junk characters in file not in Solaris, but visible in linux Post 302251049 by joeyg on Friday 24th of October 2008 10:52:49 PM

Question
Dos 2 Unix, and related programs, normally only deal with <CR> carriage return and <LF> line feed issues.

In your message, you included a tr command. Did you also run this? What did the file look like prior to doing conversion(s)?

NAME

       suninstall - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       suninstall

DESCRIPTION

       install-solaris(1M) is now the preferred command for starting and restarting the Solaris Installation program. It should be used instead of
       suninstall. suninstall is symbolically linked to install-solaris.

       suninstall is a forms-based and graphical subsystem for installing the operating system.

       suninstall exists only on the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should only be invoked from there. Refer to the Solaris 10 Instal-
       lation Guide: Basic Installations for more details.

       suninstall allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. suninstall loads the software available on the installa-
       tion media. Refer to the Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Basic Installations for disk space requirements.

USAGE

       Refer to the Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Basic Installations for more information on the various menus and selections.
