Solaris 7 Sun Hardware Platform Guide

Installing Sun Computer Systems Supplements for Solaris 7 Software on a Standalone System Using pkgadd

To install packages for supported products from the Supplement CD using pkgadd:

  1. Insert the Supplement CD into your CD-ROM drive.

    The File Manager window is displayed.

  2. Open a command window and become superuser using the su command and superuser password.

  3. Type: 

    # /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0/Product package_names

The argument to the -d option must be a full path name to a device or directory. If you do not specify the device on which the package resides, pkgadd checks the default spool directory (/var/spool/pkg). If the package is not there, installation fails.

To install a particular product, choose the appropriate packages:
