UnixWare 2 can be installed from a single boot disk, from tape, CD-ROM or the network in around 1 hour on a typical machine. The record currently stands at about 8 minutes!
A key new feature is the automatic configuration of many hardware devices (such as PCI cards, EISA cards and MCA cards). Also, the installer is allowed to adjust the various hardware settings before installation is started.
A TCP/IP network install method has been added since UnixWare 1. When used with a bootp server, UnixWare will install very nicely this way (do full IP setup, DNS etc).
