Can you install solaris 10 without installig the gui?

Hi all. As you see I am new to solaris but not new to the unix world. I finally got some hardware to install the solarais 10 dvd I had hanging around. Since it was my first install I told it to install the kitchen sink (also b/c I wasn't quite sure of what the different options were that I was presented with). Well I have been flloored the last 3 days playing with it as it is simply AWESOME. I actually am having gasp fun. I am old school and have general disdain for gui on unix. Sun implementation is great though. Still though I am curious, can I simply install the "base " operating system without the gui for a server project? if so what install option should I look out for, none is obvious like all the linux distros that have "install desktop environment" option. I would just wipe it out and explore the other install options but I actually was able to setup all services I was curious about and I have a test group using it. After some more stability tests I would like to wipe and go production with commandline only. thank you

Two excellent answers. Thank you so much. The bit about disabling graphical login is great. I gotta be honest. I am younger than the unix kernel. My inexperience makes it hard to navigate unices that have gui's installed because the directories get filled with so much shit. I really do prefer commandline cause it simple and leaves me with files that I can figure out what they mean if I need to.
Like I mentioned, I had this disk on hand for about 1.5 years. I tried installing once and kinda gave up for lack of interest. Ever since I have occasionally hit the web and tried to find more info about the various options in the installer. Since it is so slow I didn't have much time to dilly dally with it and try different permutations. I'm so glad I had nothing to do this sunday and fired up an old server with it. I am very impressed so far. If the installer and a few bugs with it were clarified I would say I had almost a perfect experience so far. That is something I intend to contribute to the community. While I do not have solid coding background, I am a workflow and layout "master" and have lots of experience implementing interactive devices.

Can you install a password so that the user of the phone cannot unblock contacts. I do not want certain people contacting my daughter.

Can you install a password so that the user of the phone cannot unblock blocked contacts. I do not want my daughter to be contacted by certain people. I also do not want her to be able to contact them.

The real problem is that whatever you do will only affect that phone. If she really wants to contact them she could use ANY phone.

Can you install CS5 anywhere other than the C Drive?

I already have CS5 successfully installed on my computer and it works perfectly.
The problem I have is that I'm running out of space on my C drive. (Currently 864 MB Free of 64.2 GB).
After a quick look at the stuff I have on this drive, it seem's to make sense to me to move Photoshop to a different drive, and regain over 10 GB of space back instantly. I already have a dedicated Photoshop drive on my computer (H:) which contains all my Fonts, Actions, Brushes etc. It would be awesome if I could install it there instead.
However, where computers are concerned, I know that nothing is ever as simple as it seem's.
Could someone let me know what sort of problem's I could expect from doing this, or even if it is possible to do.
Just out of interest, I started the CS5 installer earlier today whilst still having Photoshop installed just to see if it was something it would let me do. (I have no intention of uninstalling Photoshop from my C drive until I know if it's doable).
As you can see from the image above it shows that I already have Photoshop installed and it shows the location (Highlighted for you in Yellow).
I have tried to change the drive letter to H: but I cannot change the text within that box. I was wondering if that location only relates to the already existing copy of Photoshop. And therefore I would need to uninstall the existing copy before I can change this. Or will that location always be C:\Program Files\Adobe regardless.
In short, Is it possible to install CS5 to a drive other than C: without there being any problems?
Also is it possible to install 2 copies of CS5 onto 2 different drives? So I can test the new one before finally getting rid of the old one.
Any help or advice will be gratefully received.

You would, of course, have to uninstall the current copy before installing Photoshop in a different place.
You can only install one copy of the same version at one time on the same PC.
You're not going to be able to install it in another place just to see if all went well before uninstalling it from drive C:.
And yes, choosing an alternate drive and location into that field with the little folder icon during an install will allow you to install Photoshop on another drive. That allows you to keep the better part of a gigabyte of software off the C: drive.
Keep in mind that there are a number of things (e.g., Adobe common software) that will still and only install on drive C: however, and there's nothing you can do to change those locations.

Can you share an album without transferring the photos?

I have two Macs with ALMOST identical iPhoto Libraries. If I create an album on the iMac, is there any way to transfer the album attributes to the MacBook (which already has the photos, just not in an album)?
When I tried it through sharing, I clicked on the option to avoid duplicates, hoping it would give me the album filled with MacBook photos (identical to the iMac photos). Instead it weirdly gives me an album with, say, only 11 of sixty photos. (And those eleven are duplicates as well. No reason as I can tell for what does or does not transfer.)
Am I doing something wrong, or is this even possible?

For what it's worth, depending on the size of your library Old Toad's Tutorial #20 might be of interest. The kicker is the free size limit on the process, 2GB. Otherwise it's an easy way to keep two libraries identical automatically from either computer.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Can You Update Modern Apps without using the Windows Store?

Our corporate image for Windows 8.1 has the Windows Store app disabled. We have started to see some users are getting prompted to update the built-in apps, like the weather app or the video app. When these users attempt to update, they are taken to the Windows
store where they receive a message that states the store has been disabled by the administrator.
We're using SCCM 2012 R2 CU3. Is it possible to patch these apps through SCCM software updates rather than through the store? Is it possible to leave the store open for updates, but not for new app downloads? What can we do?

Hi,
The answer is no, When store app need to be updated, it would download a full new version package of the APP, install and replace the old ap. This process do need to login Windows Store to finish the job.

can i install logic pro without cd ? , i have the key for the logic pro but my dvd driver of my mac doesnt work ?

Buy an external USB2 DVD/CD drive..... (Amazon's Basic model works great)
Or..
Borrow someone else's Mac that has a DVD drive fitted and use that via Remote Disk
Note:
There is no legal means of downloading available for Logic Pro 9.. unless you originally purchased it via the App Store..
Therefore, in your case, you must install from the DVDs you have...

How can I install Adobe Acrobat without installing the browser extensions?

Hello All,
I am a computer Technician at a high school and we have very strict browser requirements for different services. We need to use Adobe Acrobat to convert PDF's, and other tasks, and we need to use Chrome to open Adobe Reader files. The issue is that I want my 3 browsers (Chrome, IE, Firefox) to open PDF files using Adobe Reader XI. All my plugin settings are correct to use Adobe Reader to open PDF's, but it either downloads a PDF to the computer, or opens up in the browsers default reader (Chrome does this), or opens up to a blank page with a blank error message. I went into the programs Internet settings for Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat and it's telling me the browser opens them up using Adobe Acrobat (With no option to change the setting). The problem is only solved when I uninstall Adobe Acrobat.Then I am able to open PDF's in Adobe Reader just like I want (but this gets rids of Acrobat). This leads me to believe that when I install Adobe Acrobat, there is a registry key or something that is telling the computer to open PDF's in browsers using Acrobat. My initial question is this: How can I install adobe Acrobat without linking it to the browser. I JUST want Adobe Acrobat as a program installed on the computer.
Additional Info:
- I build a computer image and use that image on several computers. This issue persists with all of the computers I installed the image on.
- I am using Adobe Reader 11 (Now DC, but I am willing to use either) and Adobe Acrobat Pro CS3 (I think it's version 9?)
Thanks for the help.
- Charlie
