Hello Stephen & Bill & List!
It's great to see some real-life examples going through this list. Ideally, it would be very instructive if Bill could post some "before - after" comparisons once he has converted his packages. > > - prompt for desired installation directory > > No prompts--this question isn't good even in an SVR4 package. Use > user images to place package at any location. Could you elaborate on that? Specifically, the traditional SVR4 approach is to manage all packages within one image (i.e. don't use -R and manage everything in /var/sadm/install/contents). How does a user image fit into this strategy? I am specifically thinking of hands-off installation during system installation, zone creation, etc. > > - check for a couple of prerequisite user accounts: abort install if > > they are not found > > Use user action to install user accounts; fails if privileges are > insufficient or accounts don't exist. Maybe I misunderstand, but I think the original intention was to fail without creating a given account if it did not exist. That nut is a little harder. :-) > We don't have support for smf(5) service suspension yet, but we will.

I would very much like to see such a discussion. Thanks -- Volker -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Volker A.
