jlliagre,
Thank you very much for your help.
It worked exactly what I wanted.
Please tell me which directory I should keep the script in.
I kept it in /usr/dt/bin, named it startx and manually called it (being root of course).
It fired X and xterm appeared but everything was so small and barely readable so I tried to
reconfigure X and miserably failed as I forgot to copy config file that was overwritten
and the error was "/usr/X11/lib/module//amd64/libpcidata.so"
failed to load "pcidata" (loader failed 7).
When I'd started X from your script, mouse'd been working but, later, it stopped working.
I'm going to reinstall the os.
Please tell me where I should put the script.
I, being a non-root user, want to start X from command line.
Thanks again.
P.S I haven't got stable internet connection so I downloaded update 10 because of
the dvd of packages sunfreeware offered. It was the last disc of extra open source
packages. They no longer provide dvd or cd free of cost. I couldn't
download from OpenCSW for the lack of internet connection.

I know that Sun make s a version of Solaris for Sparc platforms and also an x86 (Intel/AMD) release of Solaris. Can an application that runs on Solaris/Sparc also run on a PC running the x86 release of Solaris? Would a different release be required or any re-compling of the application?

DESCRIPTION
rinse is a simple script which is designed to be able to install
a minimal working installation of an RPM-based distribution into
a directory.
The tool is analogous to the standard Debian GNU/Linux debootstrap
utility.
USAGE
To use this script you will need to be root. This is required
to mount /proc, run chroot, and more.
Basic usage is as simple as:
rinse --distribution fedora-core-6 --directory /tmp/test
This will download the required RPM files and unpack them into
a minimal installation of Fedora Core 6.
To see which RPM files would be downloaded, without actually
performing an installation or downloading anything, then you
may run the following:
rinse --distribution fedora-core-6 --print-uris
TODO
Short of supporting more distributions or architectures there aren't
really any outstanding issues.
