Differences from Solaris 8 Installation and Configuration

CDE is the only desktop supported and installed by Trusted Solaris software, and the Solaris Management Console^TM Java-based tools manage local and network administrative databases.

Some options that are available when installing Solaris 8 software are not available when installing Trusted Solaris 8 software. Specifically,

• No remote file system mounting during installation. File systems are mounted after installation.

• Upgrade is not supported. However, there are manual steps to perform for keeping user and profile databases from earlier Trusted Solaris releases.

• Solaris^TM Web Start install is not supported.

Trusted Solaris 8 supports the Volume Manager and the name services that are supported by the Solaris 8 release, including the NIS name service.
