Click "Start" to start up the VM. It should automatically boot the CD image.
== Main Installation ==

The VM should boot to GRUB, unless you have a specific need for the other options, simply press <code>enter</code> to select the default. You will be asked for your preferred keyboard layout, the default is "46. US-English", so if that is correct for so simply press <code>enter</code> again, otherwise, enter the correct code. Next, it will ask for your preferred language, again, default is "7. English". The VM will then proceed into the live environment.

Once on the desktop, open the OpenSolaris Installer, by double-clicking the icon on the desktop. You can, if you wish, read the [https://web.archive.org/web/20100531005302/http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+indiana/x86-2 release notes]. Click "Next", you'll be presented with a basic partitioning screen. The default (A ZFS partition taking up the whole drive) is fine, so click "Next". After that is time zone, and then locale options, pretty self explanatory. The next screen asks for a username and password, as well as a hostname (which can be left default). At this point, the installer will confirm that you selected the correct options, review these and ensure these are correct. Note that by default, GNOME 2 is used as the default desktop environment, this is different to old Solaris releases, where either CDE or GNONE could be used as the default. If this is all correct, click "Install".
This will take a ''while'', so watch the installer for a while, or just leave it in the background. Once it is finished, simply click "Reboot".

And once you've rebooted, that's it! Installation complete.
You may notice that the latest preview build contains branding of "OpenSolaris 2010.03", this was meant to be the next stable release of OpenSolaris, but it never came to fruition. You may also notice the Oracle branding.
