I don't know but you'll have much better luck getting a useful response somewhere else (perhaps http://forums.mysql.com). This forum/list is for discussing the SVR4 package utilities and less so the Installer in OpenSolaris. It isn't for discussing general software installation issues. Just FYI. Cheers, -- Glenn
