Hello All

Our Sun T1000 box's do not have a CDROM. Does anyone know how I am supposed to install Solaris on them?

Thank you for your help.

Jumpstart / network boot I guess. A pretty big topic to cover here, so I suggest you read up on them...

thanks for the tip. I'm guessing I install from an NFS share?

Yes, but you also need to set up network boot so that your system can obtain an IP address, download a kernel image via tftp, and then boot before it can access the NFS share to continue the installation.
