Hi Everyone,

I`d really appreciate if someone enlighten me on this jumpstart
issue.
Basically I`d like to install multiple locales through jumpstart.
That is, I do jumpstart installation and when done, I should be able
to use all CJK environments (Chinese, Japanese, Korean...).
To do this, I have added all the CJK packages from Solaris languages
CD to my jumpstart installation server (I used the
"add_to_install_server" script on the CD itself).  I set the
"system_locale" in sysidcfg to "en_US" because I want that to be my
default locale.  The problem is that, just adding the extra local
packages to the jumpstart install server won`t make them installed
properly.  After installation, in CDE login sreen Cfor example, the
locale entries are there but selecting one of them (for example
ja_JP.eucJP) won`t switch the text to Japanese as it nomally would if
I did manual installation.  In addition, it won`t help to do a manual
install of the languages from the Solarris languages CD.    I still
don`t get the working locales.

After a long tries, I discovered that one way to make it work is to
add all the necessary local packages to your jumpstart profile (the
file listed in the "rules" file) after the line "cluster SUNWCall", as
follows:

 package SUNWale add
 package SUNWaled add
            ...

The problem is, though, that there are zillions of packages for
ja_JP.eucJP alone (based on SUN's list at
"http://developers.sun.com/dev/gadc/techtips/sol8_locale_pkgs/
asiapac.html#ja".  If you want more languages as well this list can
become several hundreds.  So my question is:  is this the only way?
Isn't there a simpler way to specify additional locales to be
installed in jumpstart install process?  It sure seems logical to have
some way to specify this to me.  Any advice will be much appreciated
and thanks for reading a long post.

Tony

We add them to the profile like this:

    # Solaris 10 regional locales
    geo     N_Africa
    geo     C_America
    geo     N_America
    geo     S_America
    geo     Asia
    geo     Ausi
    geo     C_Europe
    geo     E_Europe
    geo     N_Europe
    geo     S_Europe
    geo     W_Europe
    geo     M_East

I don't recall now where the names came from, but that should
include all of them.

That shows the installed geographic locales, but we need all of them so
we can decide which to install.  I assume they were listed in a document
someplace.

ok :-)

Try this:

and search for 'geo Profile Keyword'
