Andy:You can use ssh -X to do a remote display. You will need to do this from a system running osol or snv.
On my dhcp server, it does not have a supported frame buffer. So I ssh -X ad...@osol-dhcp, then just run dhcpmgr as follow:

I can also confirm it will not install on a system with less than 512 MB of memory - the screen just fills up with repeated errors about insufficient swap being available.I then installed gnome, gdm, etc into a new boot environment using pkg, etc and that too was very easy to do. Currently the X server isn't working as I fitted a PGX32 graphics card before the text install but now realise there are no drivers for this in Opensolaris, only in SXCE, Solaris 10 or earlier. I'll try taking the card out and see if the on-board graphics works instead, or will try Martin Bochnig's drivers. Or perhaps use some other PCI graphics card that is supported by Xorg on SPARCBut it's looking very promising & when I've got the X server started, I'll move on to the audio side.AndyOn 04/16/10 09:35, andy thomas wrote:On Fri, 16 Apr 2010, andrew wrote:In the past I have successfully installed earlier versions of Opensolaris on Sun Ultra 5's with 512 MB or less installed memory from a CD but from 2009.06, only the AI method is supported which apparently requires at least 1 GB of memory. 512 MB is the maximum memory supported on Ultra 5/10 systems so how is one supposed to install 2009.06 or even 2010.03?Actually the maximum memory on these systems in 1GB.You're right! Not sure where I got the idea 512 MB was the limit but I'll try and upgrade one of the Ultra 5's.cheers, Andy _______________________________________________ install-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/install-discuss-- Sponsor me in the Relay For Life of Mountain View Sat 10am to Sun 10am, May 22-23, 2010 at Cuesta Park All proceeds go to American Cancer Society http://main.acsevents.org/goto/Mary.Ding
