Hi.

These are the install packages. To install, do:

Code:

pkgadd -d /path/to/the/mounted/dvd/s2/Product SUNWbind

Thank Dave for your prompt reply!!

One thing more I want to ask .

How to check dependencies of package while installing with pkgadd command.

As linux automatically check with rpm -ivh package.rpm

When you attempt to install a package it will tell you if there are any unsatisfied dependencies.
You can also have a look at the <package>/install/depend file to see what a package will require.
