Can you show us the exact commands you used together with error messages? Just copy/paste them in a follow up. When you installed OpenSolaris 2008.05 you gave a userid/passwd and that user has full admin rights given that the admin commands are prefixed with pfexec. So, logged in at this initial user, "pfexec pkg install openoffice" will install openoffice for you. Otherwise switch user to root (su -) and give the root passwd you set at installation. Your prompt will turn to # and use the same command (excluding pfexec). Please also spend some time on the beginners learning page. http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/IPS/ggcph.html _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
