Hi Jax!
That was quick - I was anticipating a turn-around time of 24 hours or so!
I believe that we did find this rpm directory on the DVD, (along with many
others), but we were not able to rpm -V it because we do not have any linux
(of any distro on any platform) at work.
However, I have been given a Solaris Live CD (by the Solaris admins!),but I
do not think Sun use rpm packaging method, so I do not think that this would
help me.
Can you use the Solaris Live CD to boot a system on the same network
(possibly a laptop)? If so, one idea is to boot Solaris on the laptop,
mount the DVD locally, then share that out via NFS/HTTP/FTP. Then you
could perform a network install and point to this system. This assumes
though, that you can eject the Solaris Live CD, or you have an external
DVD drive though.
If not, you can download a Fedora 10 LiveCD:
http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora
You can boot with the command-line option "live_ram". If you have
roughly 1 GB RAM or more, this option loads everything into RAM so you
can eject the DVD and reuse the drive. Then use that as the
NFS/HTTP/FTP installation server.

On my Fedora system at home, I do not have a DVD drive, so I cant rpm -V
there.
I will pass on your response to some mainframers within my team at work, and
see if we can see a way forward.

One think you could check is whether or not the file
system-config-services-0.9.4-1.e15.noarch.rpm
is or is not present anywhere on the DVD. If it is not you can probably
find it somewhere and compose
yourself a new ISO with the missing file present.
