[Sunhelp] "install guide" for solaris?

I'd never pick the "standard" solaris setup.  The 2 gig was only true for
SunOS.  Someone please correct me if I am wrong.  I can send some files to
your personal address if you like.

	I really don't like the way that the generic Solaris install layed
out the
	"slices" on my disk.  I suppose asking for a way to change them
without
	rebooting might be a bit much, so I'd be content with an "install
guide"
	that will walk me through what I need to muck with so that I can lay
out the
	drive the way that I want it.  What's the biggest slice I can use on
this
	machine?  I have a 4.3 gb SCSI drive, running on an SS20.  Somebody
on
	usenet said that you could only make the root slice 2GB, but I also
heard
	that that limitation only applied to IDE drives, so I'm not sure who
to
	believe.  Thanks for any advice,
		Greg
