Slice 0 on the Solaris 7 CD contains the installation tools to set up Solaris installations. It also contains the Solaris software. Figure B-1 shows the Solaris 7 CD layout.
The name of this product is Solaris 7 but code and path or package path names may use Solaris 2.7 or SunOS 5.7. Always follow the code or path as it is written.
The control files at the top level on slice 0 are used by the installation software. The control files include .cdtoc, .slicemapfile, and .install_config.
The Solaris_2.7 directory at the top level on slice 0 contains all the tools, software, and configuration necessary to install, at a minimum, the Solaris 7 software product. It contains the following directories:
Docs - Contains release notes for the Solaris software.
Misc - Contains the jumpstart_sample directory, which is a sample JumpStart directory that includes a rules file, profiles, begin scripts, and finish scripts. This directory replaces the auto_install_sample directory on previous Solaris CDs.
Patches - Contains all of the Solaris patches available at the time the Solaris CD was created.
Product - Contains the Solaris packages and control files. The format of this directory is exactly the same as the product directory (for example, Solaris_2.6) on previous Solaris CDs.
Tools - Contains the Solaris installation tools, which include add_install_client, setup_install_server, and rm_install_client. On previous Solaris CDs, these tools were at the top level on slice 0. The Tools directory also contains the Boot subdirectory that contains the Solaris boot image.
