solaris 10 (part 1 of what's sure to be a multi-part thing)

Solaris 10. Oy. Okay, a couple of things:

1. smcwebserver is useless because Sun did not ship any modules for it with Solaris 10. A look through bigadmin will find the article where this is posted. Anyways, smc at least IS usable, but only if you hunt for the toolbox file. Execute this: cd /; find . | grep tbx and you will find a few toolbox files - the one you want is the smc.tbx file - it appears to include the others, and gets you the basic smc experience;

2. X. Where is X? If you loaded Solaris 10 and did not get a GUI when you rebooted, the install program might have decided that your video card isn't good enough. So, from a console, do this: cd /usr/X11R6/bin; ./xorgconfig. When that's done, run gdm. At some point, set gdm to start automatically (I forget where that is, I suspect in smc somewhere).

My travails with solaris 10 continue...
