Hi Jason, given that Dave has confirmed that there isn't anything you can really depend upon in terms of the CATEGORY that's in the pkginfo files, I think you would be *much* better served by investigating each package that you need and do not need, and processing them separately. You could also have a look at the Sun BluePrints regarding Solaris minimization. Search for "JASS" to get started. cheers, James C. McPherson -- Solaris kernel software engineer Sun Microsystems
