Hi, I am designing a way to automatically install production systems on the grounds of Solaris 9 and openpkg. My goal is to create a MINIMAL Solaris install and openpkg on top of it to have a system that is easier to maintain - with Sun's record of fixing too much too late and moreover silently. Just today a colleague of mine completed a jumpstart install server and the needed profiles and scripts to install SUNWreq + SUNWdoc + openpkg base automatically. What follows is a prep script that is run after the first boot to create some accounts, patch profiles and the likes and install openpkg CORE + updates (fetched from my build box).
But then today's CVS log says about OS Prerequisites o Solaris 9: - entire distribution (SUNWCall) I realized that I need a compiler from Sun(freeware/companion CD) for bootstrapping my build box, but as said above I would like to avoid a full solaris install on my strictly binary only production systems on the internet. Ralf, could you please elaborate on why you require a full Solaris install? Is there a list of the actual requirements so that I can go about and create the list of pacakges really needed? Or is there a "trial and error" procedure you could recommend? Thanks a lot!
