Thank you for the re ply.
I have been reading and studying Linus beginner by Machtelt Garrels and ignoring every thing else in life.
The reason i did post something on Debian bare bones is because many Linux distr os come across with written words alluding to thousands of free programs or applications.
I personally feel as though it is a total miss conception of reality with copy left being basterized into a free for all by many people just to suck in the ignorant into their commerce traps, while reality calls for a person to get down to the command line and grind some finger skin.
I can understand that there are thousands of free programs in the form of utilities that are used in the command line programming. And that many people have built various GUI apps that are free. And that it all goes back to C and building large from small basic programs that fit together.
But to announce any Linus OS with some grandiose words with Free in every other sentence is annoying.
As well as finding books in any area of computer tech with an author that has his / her feet on the ground.
I spend more time sorting the bs from the facts then i do harvesting the facts into the brain cells.
Thank you for the re ply and the support.
chow for now

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

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

       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.
