3-8 Sun Ultra 20 Workstation Getting Started Guide • April 2006
You should make and keep a full backup of the operating system, which can be used
to restore your system if it is ever needed. Instructions for backing up your
Operating System are included in the Solaris 10 System Administration Collection. For
information about the Solaris 10 System Administration Collection see:
http:/docs.sun.com/
You can also restore some of the software that is preinstalled on your hard disk
image (HDI) from the CD-ROMs included in the appropriate version of the Solaris
Media Kit. The Solaris Media Kit contains some of the same software that is
preinstalled on your workstation. To reinstall some software, you might need to
download the software from the web sites provided throughout this document.
Some software product companies, such as Mozilla™, offer different versions of
software on their respective web sites.
3.3.2 Restoring Solaris Preinstalled SoftwareNote – You must use Solaris 10 Operating System HW 1/06 or a subsequent
compatible version on the Sun Ultra 20 Workstation.
1. Get the Solaris Media Kit for your workstation.
You might already have the Solaris Media Kit if you ordered it with your
workstation. If you did not order the kit with your system, contact your Sun sales
representative and order the Solaris Media Kit for your language and Solaris
version. For more information, refer to the following web site:

2. Follow the installation instructions in the Start Here document that comes with
the kit.
You can install the Solaris Operating System and as much of the additional software
as you want.
