Is this on a SUN server or a p.c. (Solaris versus Solaris x86)?

If you are on a SUN server, then what type of server did you install?

Quote:

To find out which Main cluster is installed, do:

cat /var/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER

It will return:

CLUSTER=SUNWCxxxx

Where SUNWCxxxx equals:
SUNWCXall = Entire Distribution plus OEM Support
SUNWCall = Entire Distribution
SUNWCprog = Developer Support System
SUNWCuser = End User Support System
SUNWCreq = Core Support System
SUNWCrnet is the "Reduced Networking" metacluster that is added in S10.

Normally it should start CDE (Common Desktop Environment) on boot - do you get a signin screen after boot or a login prompt? To change from CDE to Xwindows from the signin screen, there should be a drop down menu there (although I thought Xwindows was support was suppose to be dropped at some point - maybe that was OpenWindows - not sure).
I'm not sure about x86 since I haven't played with it in some time.

install-solaris

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

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.
