To Add Software With Solaris Web Start

This procedure assumes that the system is running Volume Manager. If you are not using Volume Manager to manage diskettes and CDs, refer to System Administration Guide, Volume I for detailed information about managing removable media without Volume Manager.

1. Log in to the installed or upgraded system.

2. Locate the net image of the software you want to install or insert the CD that contains the software you want to add into the CD-ROM drive attached to the system.

   If you inserted a CD, Volume Manager automatically mounts the CD.

   Note –

   If you insert the Solaris 8 Languages CD, Solaris Web Start starts automatically.
