Hi,
I have been having a problem adding sunfreeware packages without interaction in a custom jumpstart finishscript. The finishscript creates an admin file that pkgadd uses correctly but in order to move to the next pkgadd statement in the script the enter key has to be pressed. The finishscript uses lines like (one one line - this entry window splits it up)

/usr/sbin/pkgadd -a ${ADMIN_FILE} -R {BASE}
-d ${MNT}/package-sparc-local

Also, Changing to where the package is located and using -d package-sparc-local does not work either.

Any Suggestions?

Try adding the name of the package (found in it's pkginfo file) to the end of your pkgadd statement.

You'll need to convert those packages with pkgtrans so that you can use pkgadd during jumpstart.

e.g.

pkgtrans bash-2.05-sol8-sparc-local /export/install/Solaris_8/Solaris_8/Extras
