Solaris Live Media x86 Install

Unix Buddies

Burned download to DVD-R.

Booted it.

It dropped me at a command line.

Is it working properly?

Thanks!

That's what a livecd is for, no? To boot an in-memory (live) OS from CD/DVD.

Well, for 1.1 gigs of download I was expecting a desktop.

How do you install a desktop from here please?

This is Solaris x86, yes?

What version? Solaris 11.1, 11.3 or what?

When you say it drops you to a command line, like what? What's the last thing it outputs?

And, no, it doesn't sound right to me.

Oh and if you're seeing:

Code:
 
 solaris console login:

as the last thing output don't be tempted to mess with it. Keep your fingers out and let it run.

It sounds like what you need to do is nothing at all.

Try it again and don't touch it at all when it gets to that point. Does it go further? Or get stuck? Give it some time. It takes a while.

Report back.

Does the machine have at least 4GB RAM?
