Operating System Package Requirements

Ensure that the required Solaris packages reside on both the Screen and the Administration Station.

Screen Solaris Packages

If you do not plan on using the administration GUI on your Screen (either because you are doing remote administration or you have chosen to use only the command-line interface for administration), you will only need to install the Core distribution of the Solaris operating environment, as well as the packages listed in this section.

---

Note -

If you only install the Core distribution of Solaris, you will either have to change your DISPLAY variable for using the installer wizard to a machine with a windowing system or install using the command-line installation procedure described in "Command Line Installation."

---

If you plan on using the administration GUI on your Screen itself, you will need to install the End User distribution of Solaris, as well as the packages listed in this section.
