[SunHELP] core install

[Steve Wingate]

boot the software 1 of 2 disk and select Core installation. By default it will install X11, but not the CDE & OpenWindows applications. You can use F4 to edit the Core installation choices. I find it faster to accept the Core recommendations then add/remove stuff after the installation is done.
