A p5i file is a "pkg(5) information" file. That is, it only contains the information about a package; not the package data. At this time, the pkg(5) system does not currently have an on-disk format (e.g. rpm, deb, tgz, etc.) and does not support on-disk installation. Support for on-disk formats won't be available until later this year. With that said, you do have the option of downloading a repository ISO image that you can use to install packages off-line if you're using the 2009.06 release of OpenSolaris: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=108575&tstart=0 Once you download the ISO image, you can transfer it to a USB flash device for use on your other system, etc. Instructions are in the linked README.osol-repo file in the post above.
