Note that pkgrm just removes one package, and if you have multiple packages or configurable sets, it's clumsy at best. The product registry is a bit better, but somewhat on the obscure side for many users. Though I agree it's unfortunate, it is the case that many things -- including Sun's own products -- come with custom install/uninstall scripts. Those scripts should invoke packaging commands under the covers, and figuring out prodreg(1M) would be better, but the existence of the wrapper script itself doesn't seem to me to be a showstopper. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
