Christine, From the package list I assume you are running Solaris 10, not OpenSolaris.
I suppose you can leave out the X11-related packages, but it isn't a valid assumption that a headless system doesn't need these packages. X11 applications can be remotely displayed using X protocol, or via Xvnc to a system with a framebuffer. Since you state that other systems you've built have worked so far, I guess you've got your answer. --Glenn Christine Tran wrote: > Cross-posted, pardon me for duplicates. > > I'm building a system starting with SUNWCrnet, it needs zones and TX. > Using the fine Solaris Package Companion tool, I'm down to the > following: > > [C] SUNWCzone XXXXXX Solaris Zones > [P] SUNWzoner PASSED Solaris Zones (Root) > [P] SUNWzoneu XXXXXX Solaris Zones (Usr) > x [P] SUNWadmfr System & Network Administration > Framework Configuration > x [P] SUNWadmfw System & Network Administration Framework > x [P] SUNWctpls Portable layout services for Complex > Text Layout support > x [P] SUNWdtcor Solaris Desktop /usr/dt filesystem anchor > x [P] SUNWj5rt JDK 5.0 Runtime Env.
