[ug-bosug] Solaris Developer Express : Memory Requirements

[Ananth Shrinivas]

The "Solaris Express"  installation will go through with 512 MB. But the 
"Solaris *DEVELOPER* Express" thing needs atleast 784 MB. Thats because 
on top of the regular installer, they run the Sun Studio and Netbeans 
installers which are written in that Java thing. It ends up bloating the 
installer :-(

You can better choose the "Solaris Express" option while booting and 
install it.
