Using pkgadd to Install Book Collections

To install document collection packages from the Solaris 10 Documentation media by using the pkgadd utility, perform the following steps. For further information, see the pkgadd(1M) man page.

Prior to performing a full installation or a partial installation of book collections, you must first uninstall any previously installed book collections. The install process will not overwrite an existing book collection with a new collection that has the same part number. You must first uninstall the existing book collection.

You can uninstall documentation packages by using the pkgrm command. See the pkgrm(1M) man page for instructions.

Steps

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role on the documentation server machine.

2. Insert the documentation DVD into the appropriate drive.

   The Volume Manager should mount the media automatically.

3. Go to the location of the document collection packages.

   For example, you might type a command similar to the following to go to the location on the media for the document collection packages:

   # cd /cdrom-mount-point/Solaris_10_Doc/common/

   cdrom-mount-point is the mount point, including volume name, for the device.

4. Start the installation utility.

   For example, type:

   # pkgadd -d .

5. Select the collections you want to install from the list.

   The installation proceeds and results are displayed.
