Hi,
Im trying to install solaris 10 on a sunfire server, I have solaris on 5 cd's. but the installation only uses CD 1 and dosent ask me for the others??. I have no man pages as a result and who knows what else. why isnt it asking me for the other 4 CD'S?? It just reboots from installing the first then goes to command prompt.

Humm, that is interesting. You did select the Entire Distribution software option? Have you checked /var/sadm/install_data/install_log?

as fpmurphy says, did you select the entire distribution?

also, when installing from the first cd, do you get to do all the usual stuff, like server name / disk partitioning / ip address etc?
