Dave and Jan:
I helped Jan to test out the fix with the reduced AI image and it works. 1. However, I do notice that there are man pages in the microroot and they do occupy some spaces. The man command is not even available in the microroot, can these man packages be removed in the AI microroot: root at opensolaris:/usr# more /tmp/man ./gnu/share/man ./has/man ./sfw/man ./sfw/share/man ./share/man root at opensolaris:/usr# du -skh /usr/gnu/share/man 235K /usr/gnu/share/man root at opensolaris:/usr# du -skh /usr/has/man 108K /usr/has/man root at opensolaris:/usr# du -skh /usr/sfw/man 512 /usr/sfw/man root at opensolaris:/usr# du -skh /usr/sfw/share/man 2.8M /usr/sfw/share/man root at opensolaris:/usr# du -skh /usr/share/man 6.1M /usr/share/man root at opensolaris:/usr# 2. For Live CD, the man pages also occupy some space and should they be removed also ??? In fact, just /usr/share/man alone had already occupy 56 MB and this will definitely help the low memory 512 MB system doing livecd install. jack at opensolaris:~# cd /usr jack at opensolaris:/usr# find . -name man -depth -print > /tmp/man jack at opensolaris:/usr# more /tmp/man ./X11/man ./X11/share/man ./bin/man ./gnu/share/man ./has/man ./man ./perl5/5.8.4/man ./perl5/man ./sfw/man ./sfw/share/man ./share/man jack at opensolaris:/usr# jack at opensolaris:/usr# du -skh /usr/X11/share/man 5.6M /usr/X11/share/man jack at opensolaris:/usr# du -skh /usr/gnu/share/man 247K /usr/gnu/share/man jack at opensolaris:/usr# du -skh /usr/has/man 114K /usr/has/man jack at opensolaris:/usr# du -skh /usr/perl5/5.8.4/man 10M /usr/perl5/5.8.4/man jack at opensolaris:/usr# du -skh /usr/sfw/share/man 2.2M /usr/sfw/share/man jack at opensolaris:/usr# du -skh /usr/share/man 56M /usr/share/man jack at opensolaris:/usr# Dave Miner wrote: > jan damborsky wrote: >> Dave Miner wrote: >>> As Jan mentioned at the meeting earlier today, I'd built a test image >>> which takes advantage of the package split I integrated under bug >>> 5468.
