Selecting a Solaris Install Method

You can install Solaris software from a local CD-ROM or from a network install server using JumpStart. If you are installing several Solaris machines, consider a network install. Otherwise, use the local CD-ROM.

Configurations using FDDI as the primary public network cannot be network-installed directly using JumpStart because the FDDI drivers are unbundled and are not available in "mini-unix." If you use FDDI as the primary public network, you must install Solaris software from CD-ROM.
