It will take about 10mins for installtion. You're done

First of all thank you again!

Oh, and I how did I miss on flar! I did not know it is possible in Solaris 9 also? Any idea what packages will I need on solaris 9 to make flar* commands available for the solaris 9 system?

I will need to unmirror the drives on 220R before I create flar, correct?

Btw, I did not get email when this topic got updated, is there anyone I can inform? I had already set up for immediate notification!

EDIT -

I searched on Google and found this link http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail...er/006763.html

I am going to try your method soon. Thank you.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

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:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
