Question: I am trying to setup RHEL5 as Solaris 10 install server. I am getting the above error. why is it giving error?

Question: Can i just use cp command to copy entire Solaris 10 DVD on local disk? or running script is required?

This script is designed to work on Solaris, not Gnu/Linux. Using a Gnu/Linux distro as a jumpstart server is unsupported. Issues to achieve it can likely be overcome but that probably doesn't worth the effort.

I thought we can atleast store the installation files on Suse or Other LInux Distros.

only rules.ok, sysidcfg and other scipts need to exist on solaris or even the Installation files copied from Solaris 10 cd/dvd.

You can get this script to work on linux by preparing your box with this command:

ln -s /bin/tar /bin/bar
