- Here's the real story:
-
- The new desktop machines from Sun do not come with the OS preinstalled.
- They are loaded with a feature called JumpStart which will load the OS from
- CD.
-
- * New JumpStart(TM) feature enables customized
- * installation of users' operating environments and
- * application software; this feature will be preinstalled
- * on the internal disks of: *
- * - SPARCclassic systems
- * - SPARCstation LX systems
- * - SPARCstation 10 and SPARCserver 10
- * (uniprocessor and multiprocessor
- * configurations)
- * Platforms with JumpStart as the default (SPARCclassic,
- * SPARCstation LX, SPARCsystem 10 Models 30 and 41) MUST
- * have access to a Solaris 2.1 CD-ROM (ordered
- * separately) to perform automatic installation *
- * SPARCstation ELC(TM), SPARCstation IPC(TM),
- * SPARCstation IPX(TM), and SPARCstation 2 ordering
- * procedures are UNCHANGED - they will continue to be
- * preinstalled with Solaris 1.1 SMCC Version A.

- 2.1 CD (ordered separately) to do automatic installation.
- Solaris 2.1 is NOT preinstalled on the disk.
- * SPARCserver 600MP Series machines are NOT preinstalled with
- anything.
- * The SPARCstation 10 will have BOTH Solaris 1.1 and

- to give customers maximum flexibility. Starting in
- January, these systems will ONLY have JumpStart.

- If you're ordering any of the new machine make sure that you order at least
- one copy of the OS. In fact for any of the machines you should have at least
- one copy around, even the preinstalled systems, in case you ever need to
- reinstall the machine or need to load additional system packages which
- may not be preinstalled.
