Explanation:
A: If the network is setup to perform automated installations, you can perform a text installation over the
network by setting up an install service on the network and selecting a text installation when the client system
boots.
B: After a fresh install of Solaris 11 express, only the console mode is activated.
To add Gnome, simply do :$ sudo pkg install slim_install
This will install additional packages that are not installed by default.
D: The text installer advantages over the GUI installer include:
* In addition to modifying partitions, the text installer enables you to create and modify VTOC slices within the
Solaris partition.
F: How do I upgrade my Solaris 10 or lower systems to Solaris 11?
Unfortunately, you CAN’T. There is no direct upgrade installer or other tool that will allow you to upgrade from
earlier releases of Solaris to Solaris 11. This is primarily due to the vast changes in the packaging mechanism
in Solaris 10.
