The key is not to do a graphical installation, because you'll run into the mouse problem that will also affect you once the software is installed. When booting off the CD, select option 4 for the initial boot mode (Solaris Interactive Text (Console session)), which will enable you to install through a console interface, rather than the normal GUI. An alternative way to force text installation is to initially configure only 256MB of RAM - 400MB is needed for a graphical install. Hope this helps! Hi Steve,

I get to the Solaris 1st install screen(asking for language preference, eg English) but I can't get any mouse movement to focus the keyboard entry to select what language I would like to use. I have tried CNTRL+ALT to switch mouse, etc with no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance HELP: I have an Intel Mac Mini with Wireless keyboard and mouse.
