Adding Software With Solaris Web Start

This section explains how to add software from a product CD using the Solaris Web Start utility.

After the Solaris operating environment software has been installed, you cannot use Solaris Web Start to install additional software from the Solaris CD, but you can use it to install software from another CD. To install additional software from the Solaris CD, you can use pkgadd or Admintool as described later in this chapter.

To Add Software With Solaris Web Start

1. Log in as root.

2. Insert the product CD into your CD-ROM drive.

   Solaris Web Start opens automatically, displaying its Welcome screen.

3. Follow the instructions on the Web Start screens.
