I think I would direct the effort towards filing bugs to get Package
Manager to be aware of its environment and behave appropriately. We do
have legitimate cases of installing packages in the live CD environment,
and would certainly like users to be able to at least search and browse
the package repositories from that environment in order to be able to
ascertain that OpenSolaris has the software they want and get to know
the Package Manager a bit.
These problems will apply to the cli client as well as the gui.
I can easily see adding an option to disable local search indexing to
help here.
"pkg install" and uninstall already have --no-index. We need to
instruct people to use it when installing things on the CD environment,
of course.
