Summary

I created this script as I was working on creating a fully automated Solaris Jumpstart Installer using Debian GNU Linux. Part of the installer was to completely handle the Solaris Companion CD. Here is the goods:

Download

You can download and use this freely... however, if you have success with it I expect at least an email.

• Solaris Companion CD Installer: http://www.5dollarwhitebox.org/drupal/filebrowser/devel.5dollarwhitebox.org/ccdInstaller/ccdInstaller.tar.gz

The Layout

• ccdInstaller.conf => The conf file
• ccdInstaller.pl => The script
• companioncd => The Directory which hold the file copied from the Solaris Companion CD
  • Packages => This directory holds individual package directories for each package installing. You can remove packages that you do not want installed
  • noask => This is the 'noask' file used to automate the pkgadd command

Usage

Copy the Packages/* directories from the Solaris Companion CD to ./companioncd/Packages. You can remove packages that you do not want installed by deleting them from the dir. The script reads the directory, and proceeds to install each pachage individually.
