SXDE does not have a text mode installer. Fortunately the disk contains other options that do.
The SXDE DVD includes 4 boot options: Solaris Express Developer Edition Solaris Express + 2 for using a serial console You want to choose "Solaris Express". This will install Solaris Express Community Edition, which is Developer Edition minus the developer tools. Once you have completed the Solaris Express Community Edition installation, simply run the install script in the DeveloperTools DVD, which by default will be located at: /media/SOL_11_X86/DeveloperTools/install_devtools.sh Once you run this, you will have exactly the same software installed as if you had chosen to install SXDE instead of SXCE. The one difference is that you will not be running NWAM - Network AutoMagic (see http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/nwam/). This is usually a good thing, since the installer will prompt you to choose between using a static IP address or DHCP on your network interfaces, whereas SXDE uses DHCP and does not give you any choice.
