What people may forget:

Sun added direct installation capability from over the net to pkgass 6 years 
ago on my request but they did never support (use) this feature.

Last year, I created scripts that allow to convert the aprox. 500MB of packages 
crated from ON into 125 MB os compressed packages that will be understood by 
any recent pkgadd delivered by Sun. If you use that feature, there is not much 
you will miss in pkgadd.
