Hi all. On my jumpstart server I have a directory called /export/jumpstart/install. I have put the entire Solaris distribution into this directory using the setup_install_server script. Now I want to add my own packages to this install directory and install those new packages on my client machines.
For example Let's say I create a software package called MYPKGsome_pkg. I add this to the installation directory by using pkgadd command like this # pkgadd -s /export/jumpstart/install/Solaris_10/Product/ -d <PKGDIR> MYPKGsome_pkg The package gets copied into /export/jumpstart/install/Solaris_10/Product/. Next I modify my profile file to include the line package MYPKGsome_pkg add However, when I try to jumpstart my client machine I get an error stating WARNING: Unknown package ignored (MYPKGsome_pkg) I dug into this a little deeper, and came up with a hint. The directory /export/jumpstart/install/Solaris_10/Product contains a file called .packagetoc . This file contains a list of all packages that can be installed. (Is my understanding correct so far?) I don't want to use the finish scripts to run kludgy commands to install the package after the installation has finished. What I need to know is whether there are any utilities that'd allow me to add packages to this .packagetoc file automatically or atleast programmatically. Please let me know. Thanks, -anoop
