Solaris packages may or may not work on BeleniX depending on how
they were compiled and which libs they use. Though SUNWgcs,
SUNWmdr should work just fine.
However a LiveUSB is just like a LiveCD: "/usr" is read-only since it is
still compressed. So an ordinary pkgadd will fail. Since a USB does have
writable space it is possible to add packages into an alternate writable
prefix and set that in the PATH when using:
mkdir /.cdrom/altpkgs
pkgadd -R /.cdrom/altpkgs -d ... <package>
export PATH=/.cdrom/altpkgs/.../bin:${PATH}

Moinak.
