Can you please describe what applications you are trying to install? Most apps are installed with pkgadd or tar-balls and install scripts.

If your install process is Jumpstart and it has all your applications all ready to go, you've most likely got a flash archive somewhere. Flash archives are perfect for installing as Solaris8 containers. You just need to find the file and use it as the install archive for a Solaris8 container.

I have the installation CD but the installation procedure must be done as: ok>boot cdrom - install So how can I find the flash archive?

You need to borrow or hire a Solaris sysadmin or find a relevant hands-on course to get you going and show you how things like jumpstart, flash archives, etc work. Of course you can ask questions here, but you need some more basic understanding of concepts in order to understand the answers, and I think you're going to really struggle otherwise. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |
