Cool questions about installation, and smf


I have some questions again....

1.
Which partitions are created by default under solaris 10 install, i have seen it been / and swap, but also an answer saying it also is /export/home. I dont have the time to reimage my server

2.
What is the absolute minimum memory needed for installing solaris 10 on x86, i have seen both 64 and 256...

3.
What are valid milestones, i thought it was the following

multi-user
multi-user-server
singel-user

But i have also seen the following

network
multiuser (is this the same as multi-user)
devices


Thanks for helping


Ole

If you are talking about fdisk partitions, Solaris need only one.
/, swap and /export/home are subdivisions of the Solaris partition (a.k.a. slices).

I recommend using only / and a swap slice, unless you want to install multiple versions of Solaris, in which case you'll need one slice for each.

Solaris 10 1/06 requires 256MB.

Code:
svcs -a | grep milestone
will tell you.
"none" is also a valid milestone, and I believe you can create your own milestones too.
