I have understood that I have to install the Solaris

2.6 from cdrom directly(boot cdrom), and no need to do

any newfs.My question is below:

Dear Sun-managers,

I have a Sun-sparc5 machine with a Solaris 2.5.1 on

it.

It has an external disk and tape as peripherals.

I want to remove this external disk from this machine

and leave only internal disk and tape and then I want

to install Solaris 2.6 on it. My question is :

Do I have to format the disks and make partitions and

make newfs before installing Solaris 2.6 or I directly

begin with installation?

what steps do I have to follow to install Solaris 2.6

to this machine now?

Thank you in advance for your help

Figen Demir.
