Solaris Web Start Program GUI or CLI

You can run the Solaris Web Start program with a GUI or with a CLI. For x86 systems, the Device Configuration Assistant is included in the Solaris Web Start program.

• GUI – Requires a local or remote DVD-ROM or CD-ROM drive or network connection, video adapter, keyboard, monitor, and enough memory.

• CLI – Requires a local or remote DVD-ROM or CD-ROM drive or network connection, keyboard, and monitor. You can run the Solaris Web Start installation CLI with the tip command. For more information, see the man page, tip(1).

If the Solaris Web Start program detects a video adapter for the system, it automatically displays the GUI. If the Solaris Web Start program does not detect a video adapter, it automatically displays the CLI. The content and sequence of instructions in both the GUI and the CLI are generally the same.
