Solaris Source Code

When I read that post, I woulda sworn that PxT was correct. But this weekend I bought a new book, Solaris Internals. The book mentions, incredibly enough, that the Solaris source code can be downloaded by individuals. I did some research on Sun's website and found that the book is correct and the source can be downloaded for free or obtained on media for $75.00.

To put some perspective on that, in 1987 the company I worked for bought a source code license for HP-UX and Ultrix. The cost exceeded one million dollars.

suninstall(1M)                                            System Administration Commands                                            suninstall(1M)

NAME

       suninstall - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       suninstall

DESCRIPTION

       install-solaris(1M) is now the preferred command for starting and restarting the Solaris Installation program. It should be used instead of
       suninstall. suninstall is symbolically linked to install-solaris.

       suninstall is a forms-based and graphical subsystem for installing the operating system.

       suninstall exists only on the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should only be invoked from there. Refer to the Solaris 10 Instal-
       lation Guide: Basic Installations for more details.

       suninstall allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. suninstall loads the software available on the installa-
       tion media. Refer to the Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Basic Installations for disk space requirements.

USAGE

       Refer to the Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Basic Installations for more information on the various menus and selections.
