All locales are supported only in the Entire Distribution metacluster. Subsets of these locales are supported in the Developer, End User, and Core metaclusters.
If you select a locale at the beginning of the installation that is not supported by the metacluster that you choose to install later in the installation on the metacluster selection screen, the following occur:
Web Start installation of co-packaged products fails without installing the co-packaged products.
You cannot open terminal windows in CDE.
For Desktop editions of the Solaris 7 8/99 operating environment, the Web Start installer installs the End User metacluster. For Server editions of the Solaris 7 8/99 operating environment, Web Start installs the Entire metacluster. You can change the defaults by selecting a Custom installation.
The following table indicates which locales are supported by each metacluster:

Workaround: To prevent the problem, install the metacluster that contains the desired locale.
To repair an existing installation in the /etc/default/init file, change the references to the unsupported locale to reference a supported locale for the installed metacluster.
