You can browse all Solaris documentation including manual pages on http://docs.sun.com Quote:

pkg-get (a wrapper to pkgadd which handles dependancies à la apt-get). pkg (very new, experimental command found in the Open Solaris Indiana preview). |
thank i tried that but an erro came up saying
pkgadd: eeror: no package were found in </var/spool/pkg> i also check that folder and its empty |
Indeed.
You need to specify the location where the package to be installed is present. Those bundled with the O/S are on the installation media (CD or DVD), otherwise, you'll need to download the package from some repository like sunfreeware or blastwave. |
how do i copy them from my Cd or DVD to my computer to install

copy from CD/DVD is simple thing ...mount the cd and use 'cp' command to copy the file in ur hdisk |
Actually, there is no need to copy the files from the CD/DVD to the local disk, you can just install from there. You can also install remote packages as pkgadd supports http URLs.

ok thanks do i use the same addpkg command or do i have to point to the cd for it to install it from there
|
The pkgadd manual page will tell you the command supports options like "-d" which will be useful in that case.
