Thanks, this is really really helpful ! I was looking for this for a while … I don’t know why Sun (now Oracle) thinks that me must use a GUI for our daily tasks! Why do we need a graphical interface on a server anyway ?

Very good! This is what I need to make it work. If you want to know, and use VirtualBox for Solaris 10 you need at least 16 mb of video ram in the VM settings. If you rely on the 12 mb of standard ram you can’t use the keyboard on a standard console (not under X).

I could have used this. I ended up connecting to my server with an X11 session and ran /usr/bin/updatemanager this brings up the manager in an X window. you can run your web browser in the same manner /usr/sfw/bin/mozilla &.
