Hi Scott,

Looking in the AI guide, I see that I can specify SVR4 packages for installation in the <add_drivers> section.

Also, looking in the software.dtd, it looks like I can specify, in general, other things besides just IPS packages for installation - FILE, DIR, SVR4 in particular.
Those tags are defined, and if you have a manifest that specifies those tags, it might even get accepted.
However, they are not currently used/interpreted by AI.  We are working on updating the AI to
the new install infrastructure.  When that work is completed, we might be able to support the other tags.
Not the answer I hoped for, but the one that explains what I have been seeing.

Some of these might be quite handy.  For example, if I could just install a file directly, that would give me the finish script hook that Dave Miner and I were discussing a week or so ago.  I could install a file directly into /etc/rc3.d/S99finishscript and it would run.  I understand that that is gross and contrary to the design and intent, but it might be something that would be well used.

Thanks for the clarification!

How can I use these?  Where are these documented?  Looks like it these could be really helpful.
