Hi Peter,

pkg <http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+pkg/> IS the OpenSolaris image packaging system (IPS).

pkg_get <http://www.blastwave.org/pkg/pkgcontents.ftd?software=pkg_get&style=brief&state=5&arch=i386> is a download tool used by Blastwave. It doesn't even exist on a clean OpenSolaris install, so you have had to install it. Blastwave used to have an IPS mirror <http://blastwave.network.com:10000/> set up, but that now appears to be down.

Regards,
Brian

As far as I know there are two commands/tools for installing software:

pkg install .....
pkg-get install .....

What is the difference ?

Thank you
