The easiest way to install the Solaris 8 Admin Pack products is to use the Solaris Web Start wizard, available on the product CD. You need the root password to proceed with Web Start installation.
Note - When you install the SMC with the Admin Pack, you will be able to launch any of the Admin Pack products and special configuration wizards. If you do not install the SMC during the Admin Pack installation and change your mind during the current installation, you must first complete the current installation. Then restart the Web Start installation wizard and choose Custom installation, which will give you the option to select the SMC.
