you can run network-admin, a nice GUI to setup network, including WIFI.
I have installed Solaris Indiana recently. The device driver utility
detects Broadcom Netlink Gigabit Ethernet card but shows a message
that the driver is missing.
It detects intel pro wireless with no problems.
But
I think yes I can do a boot cdrom -s and configure network interface
(maybe using ifconfig bge0 dhcp) and then download it to /a .. The
reason why I want to do this is that we have no OS installed on the
system and we wanted to upgrade OBP
Thanks for all the answers. My system is a v210/v240.
I spent several hours trying to get OpenSolaris
2008.05 (final version)
to work with a screen resolution larger than 1024x768
when running under
VirtualBox 1.6, but no luck.
I installed the VirtualBox guest additions, but they
didn't help.
I followed the instructions in the Virtual Box
Is it just me, or is this something that no one wants to say out aloud?
This is an ENTERPRISE level operating system from SUN, one of the big dogs! And

Ah :( Well, that isn't an option in a day when I have to pick from buying RAM
or buying a tank of gas. :D
Thanks!

While I'm all for fast, stable operating systems, this is 2008, there should
be no excuse for not having even basic GUI interfaces for your installed
hardware, drivers, versions, etc.
Can SUN not even do that? I'm amazed.
Basically the answer to your question is yes, they can not do that

I am trying to give VirtualBox a host Interface to use.
Going over the docs I have:
created a vnic using the vnic_setup.sh script plumbed the interface and
configured with a ip on the same network as the destination ip.
I set the interface name in the VirtualBox GUI and booted my virtaul

Well...I guess a lot has changed in the last 10 years. Video cards are as cheap
as a cable now. And a GUI doesn't necassarily have to be tied to video, it can
be a web console.
But I digress. My point is that in TODAY's world, I'm flabbergasted as to why
would you have a new release of an O/S
Should I read that as Sun doesn't really want to make Solaris a mainstream
O/S? Because if they really are (Why else would OpenSolaris exist?) I don't
get the whole who cares about GUI, it's all int he command line! concept.

O/S?
No, you should read that as Microsoft has 20x the market value of Sun, and that
is reflected in how much product development Sun can do, and how fast they can
do it...

But SUN is working on the install. In OpenSolaris the install has been changed.
It is coming.

OpenSolaris 2008.05 is a version 1.0 build from a community project.
You will see it develop very quickly because of the source commonality,
but its still V1.0.

enterprise to consumer desktops. These things have very different
I love a good GUI. Web browsing looks better than lynx, and I can open up
multiple xterms and work on multiple command lines at the same time. The only
GUI tool I use is printmgr because lpadmin syntax sucks. I've been a SysAdmin
since before the GUI and really would not miss it if it went

with it off and on, nothing hardcore. Which should answer the how long have
you been using computers.
GUI is nice but not necessary for many computer tasks.
Sure. It aint necassary for many tasks, but it certainly makes
