21487   OE CD Install does not allow Software Customization   29 Dec 1999

Status Issued

Description
When using the Operating Environment CD to load Solaris 2.5.1 HW 11/97 or
2.6 HW 5/98 on Ultra systems with 440+ MHz processors, the Java-based GUI
installation process does not allow Software Customization.  The Ultra
systems are Ultra 5s, 10s, 60s or 80s.  

It will allow the choice of cluster to install, but not a "customize" 
button which normally allows packages to be added or subtracted.

SOLUTION SUMMARY:
The only way to customize the operating system on these systems during 
the installation is to use Solaris 7.  This also takes care of the 440MHz 
processor issue and eliminates the need for the Operating Environment CD.

Otherwise, it will be necessary to use AdminTool Software Administration 
to add or remove packages after the 2.5.1 or 2.6 installation.
