Example--Installing Software From a Mounted CD

The following example shows a command to install a fictitious package SUNWtoolu, which will install files into a /usr file system. Assume that the package resides on a mounted product CD, which is mounted on /cdrom/cdrom0 by default. The pkgadd command uses an administration file named new-basedir, which specifies a new installation directory for the package. The example also shows use of pkgchk to verify that the package's files were installed properly.

# pkgadd -a new-basedir /cdrom/cdrom0 SUNWtoolu
	.

Installation of <SUNWtoolu> complete.
# pkgchk -v SUNWtoolu
