Installation

Chapter 1 Installing Sun ONE Directory Server 21

• Do you want to install without first becoming super user? Do you want to

install multiple independent sets of Directory Server binaries on the same

system?

If so, consider installing from a compressed archive, even on Solaris systems.

• Do you want to install quickly to evaluate Directory Server? Is this your first

time installing this version of Directory Server?

If so, consider installing interactively.

• Do you want to script installation? Do you want to install many systems with

similar configurations?

If so, consider using the silent installation process.
