Hi Samar,

check pkg-get for a list of commands:

:~# /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get
pkg-get,   by Philip Brown , [email protected]
 (Internal SCCS code revision @(#) pkg-get 4.11@(#))
Originally from http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/pkg-get.html

pkg-get is used to install free software packages
pkg-get
Need one of 'install', 'upgrade', 'available','compare'
  '-i|install'   installs a package
  '-u|upgrade'   upgrades already installed packages if possible
  '-a|available' lists the available packages in the catalog
  '-c|compare'   shows installed package versions vs available
  '-l|list'      shows installed packages by software name only
  '-e'           email provided single email address if updates needed
                   (-e is incompatible with -c)

Optional modifiers:
  '-d|download'  just download the package, not install
  '-D|describe'  describe available packages, or search for one
  '-U|updatecatalog'   updates download site inventory
  '-S|sync'      Makes update mode sync to version on mirror site
  '-v'           Debug/verbose mode (-d and -D were taken!)
                  Will report how many bytes would be downloaded
  '-f'           dont ask any questions: force default pkgadd behaviour
                 Normally used with an override admin file
                 See /var/pkg-get/admin-fullauto

  '-s ftp://site/dir'  temporarily override site to get from


it doesn't actually say from the list but it should be:

/opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -r {pkg name}

Then you can start again from Blastwave.

Or alternatively I found this link for you which may help some:
