I've sort of got into the habit with pkgadd of just semi-ignoring any warnings and pressing "y" a lot, but I ran the install again and it didn't warn me. I was using the Solaris 8 packages from here (since I was installing on Solaris 9): http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.1/contrib/solaris_pkgadd/ It looks like there are two slight problems with these packages: 1. There is no warning on installation that I'm installing to the "wrong" arch (although it does tell me the arch). 2. Both packages install to exactly the same location and deliver the same files, only one contains i386, one has SPARC. > Since one architecture can serve as an nfs server for > another > architecture, the packaging commands don't really > question > installing different architecture packages.... OK, so are package writers meant to put files for different architectures into separate directories? Thanks Andrew.
