Is there any way to override this error:

pkgadd: ERROR: The package <SUNWcar.i> may only be installed by the global zone
administrator

So you ask, Why would you want to do such a thing?

I'm playing around with creating minimal embedded Solaris configurations, where 
the packages typically get installed to a "miniroot" directory.  To save 
additional space, I'm manually removing all types of files, executables, shared 
objects, and directories. Terrified that one day I would mistakenly  remove all 
of the components from the global "/" directory instead of "minroot",  I 
figured I'd do this somewhat dangerous work inside a local zone.  At least 
there's a recourse for recovery.

Thanks,
