Edit the Configuration File

The Configuration file contains the information that is required to allow JumpStart to perform a silent (unattended) installation. The syntax and keywords for the Configuration file are detailed in the Solaris 8 sysidcfg document on the Sun website.

To edit the configuration file

1. Change to the configuration parent directory and open the Configuration file with a text editor.

   /config_parent/ca/profile/Solaris_8/sysidcfg
   

2. Edit and save the file.
