Open Solaris Express Edition和Express Developper Edition的区别

When i try to install OpenSolaris from the latest Developper DVD release, i am prompted with different choices, featuring first :

- Open Solaris Express Developper Edition
and
- Open Solaris Express Edition

i have spent hours searching for the differences of those two versions but so far only understood the difference between the community and developper editions.

my question is, does the community edition refer to that second choice "Open Solaris Express Edition" on the developper edition DVD ?
if not, could someone confirm what the "Express" version lacks compared to the "Developper Express" version ?

I have noticed that we get a more elaborated GUI during the installation of the OS on the "Developper Express" version, while the "Express" version is a textmode UI. I havent been prompted with a package choice one the "Express" version either.

I will be finishing installation of the "Express" version tomorrow, and am expecting to lack the whole gnome windowing system.

Would there be someone kind enough to let me know the basic steps to install this package manually ?

Thanks for any info/clarification.

As far as I know, Developer Edition contains NetBeans and Sun Studio
(that is, they install immediately after Solaris Express) and, as you
point out, the installation is slightly more graphical.

Express gives you the whole GNOME environment.

The short answer is that the "Developer" choice provides a simplified
installer, a set of automatic defaults for most questions (including
enabling DHCP by default), and automatic installation of a set of
development-related tools (such as the Sun Studio tools).

The other path is the traditional Solaris install.

It depends on which metacluster you choose to install.  There's a
point where you can choose to install a "reduced networking" amount of
software, "user," "developer," or "full."

Which package?  GNOME?  It's not just one package; it's a bunch of
them.  I'd recommend strongly going with one of the default
metaclusters.  Otherwise, you have to pick and choose packages and
clusters, and it requires a lot of effort and understanding of the
software itself to do that.
