I have a Solaris 9 box that was jumpstarted but installed with just a 'core
install'...
It needs to have the majority of the packages installed that you would
normally get with a Full + Development support installation.
Is there anyway to add all the missing packages?
Problem is we are trying to install some special software on this box &
it's missing some required patches & packages.
The packages are too numerous to do one by one, and installing the patch
cluster doesn't help as it won't patch things that aren't already there.
It is a Netra X1, so I have no CD-ROM, but I can scp over the entire
Solaris_9 directory from the jumpstart machine if need be.
I know the simple thing would be to just re-install the box but problem is
it is already being used & to take it down to rebuild it would be a problem.
I was able to get the required development stuff so we can compile w/ gcc
but it's still missing a bunch of other stuff...
I would like to just add everything.
The only thing this box won't need is X/CDE.
Thnks in advance.
