Hi All,

Trying to add a few things to a Solaris 10 (Sparc) install, from the
Software Compainion disk.   When I go through the install, either GUI
or texted based it will fail in the end.  If you look at the last part
of the text below you can you can see I have selected the packages,
then agreed to the license, next it acts like it going to install but
stop and reports nothing installed.

Next you can select 4 to be "Done" or 1-3 to view log.

Log states following:

/var/sadm/install/logs/Desktop-Environment_install.B02081004 does not
exist

I only selected one of the logs to view that time through, but the
other installs would have the same error, something like:

/var/sadm/install/logs/X-Applications_install.B02080955 does not exist
/var/sadm/install/logs/Application-Utilities_install.B02080955 does not
exist

I have plenty of disk space, 12GB free on /opt and 14GB free on / and
16GB on /usr.

I have the boxed set of Solaris 10 disk, but I have even downloaded
another disk image thinking my disk was some how bad, still same
results.

Any ideas on what is going on?

Thanks

Joe
