[csw-users] Furthermore .. what you really need to get started with Blastwave

[Dennis Clarke]

Really you only need a few packages installed correctly to have
everything that you need :

I installed the following packages that you can get from any mirror :

# ls -1
common-1.4.2-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg
isaexec-0.1-all-CSW.pkg
openssl-0.9.8,REV=2005.07.15-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg
pkg_get-3.4.1-all-CSW.pkg
wget-1.9.1,REV=2003.12.26-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg

I installed them, manually, in the following order :

# ls -laptr /var/sadm/pkg | tail
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     root         512 Aug  1 03:14 SUNWpsf/
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     root         512 Aug  1 03:14 SUNWpsu/
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     root         512 Aug  1 03:14 SUNWscplp/
drwxr-xr-x   9 root     sys          512 Aug  1 03:14 ../
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     other        512 Aug  1 12:53 CSWcommon/
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     other        512 Aug  1 12:53 CSWisaexec/
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     other        512 Aug  1 12:54 CSWossl/
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     other        512 Aug  1 12:58 CSWwget/
dr-xr-xr-x 604 root     sys        12288 Aug  1 12:59 ./
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     other        512 Aug  1 12:59 CSWpkgget/
#

See that ?  I installed common, isaexec, openssl, wget and then
pkg-get in that order.

Now I can go edit the /opt/csw/etc/pkg-get.conf file to use a mirror
or a local DVD or whatever.

# grep -v "#" /opt/csw/etc/pkg-get.conf
url=file:///opt/CSWdistro/unstable

There you see that I am using a NFS mount at /opt/CSWdistro and the
next step that I take is to install the necessary security components
such that package signatures are verified correctly.  Please see
http://www.blastwave.org/howto.html for details.
