Solaris Web Start Program GUI or CLI

You can run the Solaris Web Start program and for Intel systems, the Device Configuration Assistant, with a GUI or with a CLI.

• 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 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 CUI are generally the same.
