I don't think you can install Solaris over the Internet, but you can set up a jumpstart server if you get one Solaris box with a CD running. You can buy Solaris with documentation for $75 from Sun, go to http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/. You can also download it if you have a fast connection. To set up a jump start server, you first make an install image. There is a script on the Solaris CD, something like /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_8/Tools/make_install_server, run it with the path to install directory as an option. For Solaris 8 there is another script on CD 2 which is something like /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_8/s0/Tools/patch/install_image Once that is done you have to set up a tftp ketnel and /etc/bootparams file on the install server. That should be enough to get an interactive install. To do that, get the box to be installed to the ok promt (press "stop" and "a" at the same time), and type
Code:
boot net - install

If you buy the media, it includes very detailed jumpstart instructions.

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.
