Summary

In this chapter, we have examined how to perform preinstallation planning, and how to estimate the amount of disk space requirements for installation. In addition, we have walked through how to perform a Web Start Wizard installation, and how to configure a Solaris system for first time operation. These techniques must be employed whenever a Solaris system is installed.
