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.

NAME

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/dt/bin/answerbook2 [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The  AnswerBook2  server  product  is no longer included with Solaris or the Solaris Documentation CD products. Solaris docmentation is now
       provided in HTML and PDF format on the Documentation CD and does not require the AnswerBook2 server to be viewed.

       The answerbook2 utility opens the default web browser and displays an HTML page that shows a link to locally installed documentation,  and,
       if the AnswerBook2 server has been defined, a link to AnswerBook2 collections.

       To define a default AnswerBook2 server, use the environment variable, AB2_DEFAULTSERVER.

       This functionality is also accessible through the AnswerBook2 option  on the CDE front panel Help menu.

       If you need an AnswerBook2 server, you can download the AnswerBook2 server software from http://www.sun.com.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -h	Displays a usage statement.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       AB2_DEFAULTSERVER       Fully-qualified	  URL	 that	 identifies    the    default	 AnswerBook2   server	to   use.   For   example:
