If you use the text installer, your installed system does not include all of the software packages that are included in a live CD installation. In particular, the installed system does not include the GNOME desktop. If you want your system to contain all of the software packages that are included in a live CD installation, including the GNOME desktop, use the following procedure to add the necessary additional packages to your installed system.
Note - To perform the following procedure, your system must have network access, so that you can download software packages from an IPS networked repository.
$ su - password: #
# beadm create be-name
Note - By creating a new BE and installing the additional packages there, you retain your originally installed system and can revert back to it, if necessary.
# beadm mount be-name /tmp/a
# pkg -R /tmp/a install slim_install
The slim_install package is a large group of packages that includes specific packages for the GNOME desktop.
# pkg -R /tmp/a uninstall slim_install
Note - The slim_install package is a group package. Removing the slim_install group container enables you to individually manage all of the packages that were installed as part of that group.
# bootadm boot-archive -R /tmp/a
# beadm unmount be-name
# beadm activate be-name
# reboot
