Quote:
In Solaris, the available range of TCP/IP ports is 0 to 65535. However, there are some restrictions that apply:

Ports in the range 0 to 1023 are reserved for privileged (root) services, such as telnetd, ftpd, and so on.

Ports in the range 1024 to tcp_smallest_anon_port-1 are used for user services such as NFS server daemon, FONT server, and so on.
This leaves the range 32768 to 65535 available for general TCP/IP connections. To limit the range of the port numbers allocated for the general use, the following two ndd(1M) parameters can be used:
tcp_smallest_anon_port:
This determines the smallest TCP port number that may be used for an anonymous connection. Solaris allocates anonymous ports above 32768. The default value is 32768.


tcp_largest_anon_port:
This is the largest TCP port number that may be used for anonymous connections. The default value of this is 65535.
You mention port 80 - are you trying to change where http will be going? If so, you can change to port inside (example Apache) the httpd.conf. If not, give more information on what you are trying to accomplish.

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.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
