Hi!
First I want to thank everyone that helped last week with my AI and Text
Installer issues.
Now that I've played a little with both, I like the pkg list that the
text installer leaves on the system, but utimately I'm going to need to
automate the install with AI.
So I'm sure I can generate a list of all the pkgs that AI installs, wnd
which the text installer doesn't, and I can add those to the manifest in
the 'uninstall' section, but that seems pretty in-efficient (why install
and then uninstall?)
On the other hand, I might also be able to just make a list of the
packages the text installer installs, and replace 'babel_install' with
this list - But the comments in the default manifest, and the docs
online seem to imply that that 'babel_install' is required though.
Would that work?
All of this leads me to my real question, what is the best way to do
this? Are there other collection names that I can use in place of
'babel_install'?
No, babel_install is not required in any way; the 'entire' incorporation
should be installed to ensure that any updates are correctly
synchronized, but that's about it. And no, there aren't any other
particularly useful group packages defined yet, though it's planned.
You can get the list of packages that are included in the text install
media from its DC manifest:
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/caiman/slim_source/usr/src/cmd/distro_const/text_install/text_mode_x86.xml
or
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/caiman/slim_source/usr/src/cmd/distro_const/text_install/text_mode_sparc.xml
Note that SUNWslim-utils should be ellided from an AI install; it's used
only on the media.
