Solaris Web Start Browser-based Installation

The Solaris software is the industry's first operating system that can be installed via a web browser. Solaris Web Start is a browser-based utility that guides users through the selection and installation of both Solaris and copackaged application software. Its graphical user interface also facilitates file system configuration.

The utility's built-in suite of online information answers questions about the product itself, the software it installs, and the hardware platforms it supports. Use of the utility is optional: users can exit at any point and proceed with one of the more traditional Solaris installation methods.

For more information, see the module Using Solaris Web Start in Information Library for Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) or Information Library for Solaris 2.6 (SPARC Platform Edition).
