What destination directory will you need to alter from the default one, /opt, to? What is the primary reason why you will need to do so? What is the main purpose you will use OpenOffice.org on Solaris 2.8 SPARC? And so on... Could you give us your brief feedback about OpenOffice.org in return for getting information on your inquiry? BTW, http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs.html says OpenOffice.org 3 ... Solaris 10 OS or higher OpenOffice.org 2 ... Solaris 8 OS or higher OpenOffice.org 2.4.3 is available at "Archive" mirror servers. http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/ You could theoretically alter the installation directory by giving -R option to the "pkgadd" command in a normal way that Solaris offers. But I am not sure though, even I have running Solaris 9 SPARC systems, but no Solaris 8 one. Those systems are a production system, not for experiments. The way might be like this, I guess: $ gtar -zxf .... $ cd ..../packages $ perl -pe 's/ask/nocheck/' /var/sadm/install/admin/default > /tmp/nocheck # mkdir /alternative # pkgadd -R /alternative -a /tmp/nocheck -d . openofficeorg-core* openofficeorg-*[^0-9] I assume that you understand a purpose of the -R option. That would also create /alternative/etc, share, usr, var, as well as opt. I am curious to hear your feedback!
