Thanks, I may take you up on that. Right now I'm installing software I need. Interestingly enough, on this install, the package manager is borked. It will start from the command line with pfexec, but not from the System->Administration menu. Easy enough to get around, but it makes me wonder how well the LiveCD image was tested...

Morning Rainer,

sorry to hear your understandable disappointment.  But I'd still be willing to 
help diagnosing the network problem if you'd share the output of nwamcfg, dladm 
et cetera.

Cheers
  Stefan

Betreff: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] pkg only installing command-line tools

Never mind; I've given up. :-(
I need to get going setting up software, so I'm reinstalling the LiveCD
knowing the network is pooched and that it won't save desktop settings,
and who knows what else. Maybe the 151a9 update will fix things.

A very disappointed,
Rainer

I've been using:
pkg install -v {package}
  to install command-line tools, but it refuses to install Gnome.
Whenever I try:
pkg install -v {gnome,gnome-incorporation,etc}
it spins for a few moments "Creating plan", then comes back:
"No updates necessary for this image."

But this system doesn't have any of Gnome installed, nor does pkg
install actually install anything.

Between the 151a8 LiveCD not keeping the static network configurations
(nor any of my desktop settings, I discovered), and now this, I'm
about ready to ask if someone will send me a 151a7 LiveCD. 151a8 is
definitely borked.
