Install with pkg Command line:% pfexec pkg install openoffice but i don't know where i can write this command to execute it. i tried to do it from the terminal but it is saying bad command. What exactly did you type into that terminal window? Did you type the % at the beginning? If so, don't. That's just a prompt. The command you enter should begin with pfexec. i am sorry that i am giving you a lot of pressure, but i need your help badly, since i have notice that even i don't have the concept how to deal with the opensolaris OS It might be worthwhile to look for a book or two about OpenSolaris and/or Solaris and/or UNIX in general. There happens to be a pretty good book specifically about OpenSolaris available now. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking james.d.carl...@sun.com Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] open solaris on lenovo
hello guys, i have a lenovo laptop 3000 N100, which is normally for windows installation. but i have made a solaris partition and i did install the opensolaris. now everything is ok for the installation of the OS. but when i download anything from the internet (for opensolaris) it is not opening because it is saying that the is no specific application to open this specific application. for example, i had download application with extension .hqx and .dmg, which is normally opening in the normal solaris macintoch. but on the open solaris it cannot open. i tried to install an application to open the .hqx and .dmg, but the application needs another application to get open like winzip or something else. so now i am stuck inside the open solaris OS, without any capability to add any other software application. of course i am talking about the FREE applications. did anyone had faced this problem before kindly can you advice. is there any website that we can dowload free apps for open office and it can open without any specific apps. and thank you very much -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] open solaris on lenovo
Following are the ways that I know of to install the applications on OpenSolaris from end-users perspective: 1. Install from the package repository by Package Manager Web Installer. Go to http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/en/index.shtml and search the packages you want to have. Take openoffice for example, it will take you to http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/en/search.shtml?token=openofficeaction=Search. There is an Install column and just click Install beside package openoffice. Choose Package Manager to open and choose proceed can install OpenOffice on your box. 2. Install with Package Manager GUI. On up-left of your desktop, choose System-Administration-Package Manager. Search for openoffice, select the corresponding checkbox and click Install/Update. 3. Install with pkg Command line: % pfexec pkg install openoffice BTW, the files with extensions .hqx and .dmg should be specific for MacOS. -Alfred On 06/02/09 15:22, khaldoun wrote: hello guys, i have a lenovo laptop 3000 N100, which is normally for windows installation. but i have made a solaris partition and i did install the opensolaris. now everything is ok for the installation of the OS. but when i download anything from the internet (for opensolaris) it is not opening because it is saying that the is no specific application to open this specific application. for example, i had download application with extension .hqx and .dmg, which is normally opening in the normal solaris macintoch. but on the open solaris it cannot open. i tried to install an application to open the .hqx and .dmg, but the application needs another application to get open like winzip or something else. so now i am stuck inside the open solaris OS, without any capability to add any other software application. of course i am talking about the FREE applications. did anyone had faced this problem before kindly can you advice. is there any website that we can dowload free apps for open office and it can open without any specific apps. and thank you very much ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
