How do you make an wizard install into alternate root location???

Is there a switch or environment variable that I can set before firing off an install script to cause the package to install in an alternate location for the patches and packages being installed? I am trying to use live upgrade to create a clone of my booted OS (Solaris-8) and then wish to add the Gnome package to the alternate boot image. Bringing up the installation wizard always wants to put it in the root partition but I want to do the effect of the '-R /a' switch to patchadd and pkgadd. How can I accomplish this when the installation scripts are on CD-ROM?
Thanks in Advance
Charlie Jack

do you have room to just through the cd contents onto a hard disk then edit the script as needed?

  • How do you make one long track into multiple tracks?

    How do you make one long track in itunes into multiple tracks? Is there a way to do that?

    I found another solution too through Garageband. I don't know if it was easier, but I liked this way of creating seperate tracks.
    First, You put the long track into Garageband.
    -then you create a New Basic Track under Track Tab-create as many of those as tracks you want to make
    -also make sure the headphones button is lit up under each New Basic Track-this allows it to be a 'solo' track.
    -then you can start cutting music-with the long strip find where you want to split into a new track and drag that half down into each New Basic Track.
    -Once you are done, press Option Z and a purple little triangle will appear up by the measures. drag the triangle to the end of the first track-this allows it when sharing to itunes to just record the particular track you want, it puts a stop/end to that track.
    -then, make sure the track you want to share is highlighted the bright orange and go to share, 'send to itunes'
    -it will send that to itunes and you can rename it in itunes.
    -Go back to Garageband-delete the first track you successfully shared and move the next one up to where that one was. Slide it accross to the left so it is at the beginning, press option Z and move the purple triangle where you want it to be...and you are good to repeat until all your tracks are done!
    I am a very visual person, and this helped to see where I was cutting each track, just another way!

  • How do you make a wizard by dialog

    Hi,
    I am swing newbie. I know how to make a dialog, then if I fire up the button of that dialog, the second dialog appear ( modal or non modal ). But how do you make a dialog the make another dialog and kills it self ( like a wizard ) and pass the data from it?
    So imagine it like this:
    The first dialog:
    you click start
    The first dialog exit then the second dialog ask your name:
    you type in jtext field, then fire the enter button
    The second dialog exit then the third dialog say hi to your name ( the second dialog pass the data ( ur name ) to the third dialog ).
    How do you achieve that????

    Consider using a single JDialog and CardLayout to manager the pages in the wizard.

  • How do you make a bootable install partition from a disk image of an install disk.

    I have an iMac g4 running Leopard and would like to install OS X 10.3 on a different partition Leopard is on. However the super drive in the iMac will not read the disk I have, so I used my MacBook Pro to make a disk image of the install disk to use to install on the iMac. I do not know how to make the disk image into a bootable partition so I can install 10.3. The person I bought it from has already created a partition of the Leopard install disk and it is bootable but I do not know how he did this. Please help me. Thanks!

    Could be the cd is bad.  Could be a bad cd reader.
    I' not sure what you are trying to do. 
    To install,
    --  you need to boot from a cd. 
    -- copy a working installation from another partition. try carbon-copy-cloner
    -- could try target disk mode.  There is a cd sharing mode.

    cd sharing across ethernet.  Not sure if this works for booting.

  • How do you make a .Desktop entry run as root?

    I know in KDE you add "X-KDE-Username=root" but what do you need to add for Gnome users (there's nothing in the desktop-entry-spec )? So is there a setting for it or do I need to make a script to run the command with gksudo/kdesu depending on the desktop environment?
    TIA

    i just put on Exec something like that
    Exec=gksu -u root /path/to/application      it requires root password
    Exec=gksudo /path/to/application      if i want to use my password/no password depends on the way i setup sudoers

    How do you make your data into a chart?

    Dick,
    Your table should look like this:
    You're looking at 1 Header Row and 1 Header Column. Headers are shaded by default. Adding a shading to a regular column doesn't make it a header. Use the Table Inspector.
    When you Select the data and Insert a Table, you will get this:
    Got it?

  • How do you make a 3d octagon in photoshop cs4 extended?

    How do you make a 3d octagon in photoshop cs4 extended that you can map artwork to? I've been searched online for a solution that doesn't involve using a 3D program but can't find anything. Can't you extrude a shape like in Illustrator, or exporta true 3D shape from Illustrator that will work? I'd use Illustrator but the mapping thing is finicky, and doesn't alow wrapping images around angles. (now someones going to say: "Don't mention any other programs in a PHotoshop forum!" Yeah yeah, there should be a forum then about using different Adobe programs together.) End of rant, any suggestions much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Thanks for your prompt response!
    Suggested Bridge Update
    It turns out that I got a message that this update had already been installed, which led me to more carefully look at the Bridge window and (finally) see that the Output module had a Quality dropdown: Full, 300 ppi, 150 ppi, 96 ppi and 72 ppi.  Thanks!  I decided to compare the CS4/Bridge results to those I got in CS2 with its convenient File/Automate/PDF Presentation/Multi-Page Document routine that I like.
    My project was an 8-page PDF made from scanned pages of handwritten notes into which some fairly small type had been insert using the Photoshop CS2 Type tool.  In Photoshop CS2, I had settled on "medium quality" JPEG compression as giving a "reasonable" file size (about 7 MB) and "very good/excellent" image quality.  I experimented with making the PDF in Bridge, using all five Quality levels.  See table below.  The Bridge "good minus" file was about the same size as the file produced in CS2, which I judged to be "very good/excellent" and slightly better visually than the 300-ppi, 23.5-MB Bridge file.
    Bridge Quality:
    Full
    300 ppi
    150 ppi
    96 ppi
    72 ppi
    File Size:
    25.2 MB
    23.5 MB
    7.6 MB
    3.2 MB
    2.1 MB
    Subjective Quality:
    Very good
    Very good
    Good minus
    Poor
    Useless
    I appreciate that you may not be all that interested in these observations, but it seems to me that Adobe has done us no favors in the multi-page PDF department in going from CS2 to CS4!
    Install the Old Contact Sheet/Picture Package Plug-Ins
    I had already done this some time ago, in order to get in CS4 the File/Automate/Contact Sheet II feature I liked in CS2.  It does not appear to me that this plug-in has anything to do with make multi-page PDF's.  Perhaps I'm missing something.
    Again, thanks for your response!

  • How do you do a  Clean install lion

    How do you do a clean install of lion? My iMac is 8 yr old and has gotten sluggish. At one point it was suggested that I might want to do a clean install but no one ever told me how to do that since we don't have a disk!

    Assuming you already have Lion installed, boot into Recovery Mode (Command-R). From there you can reinstall Lion. Note, however, that a clean install means you first erase the drive you want to do the clean install on, and unless you have a complete backup of everything that's currently on it, you'll lose it all; the clean install will leave you with a fresh operating system but nothing else. To get it all back, make that external clone, then when the clean install is finished on the internal, Setup Assitant will run and you can point it at the external clone to get all your stuff back.

  • How do you make superscripts and mathematics in Preview's text annotation?

    When adding text annotations that include scientific notations, how do you make superscripts, e.g. "3.2 × 10^{-23}"?
    Searching Help for 'superscript' turns up nothing, suggesting the command does not exist, as it does under Baseline etc. in iWork. Please tell me this is not the case! If it is, has the situation been improved in the new operating system?
    A related issue: I wish to include other mathematics -- is there a way to include mathematics similar to LaTeX? Might Preview incorporate using latex code in the future, so I can easily type "\exp{-\lambda t}" etc and have the math appear?
    I'm adding text annotations to PDF lecture notes in Preview, basically filling in blanks the instructor has left so students will pay attention in class, and these annotations include superscripts; I wish to format properly.
    Thank you!

    Once you have the circle shape displayed, long press on the border of the circle. Once it is highlighted, drag horizontally or vertically. This should allow you to distort the circle into an ellipse (or the square into a rectangle).
    Hope that helps,

  • How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

    How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

    Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
    I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.

  • How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?

    Hello Forum.
    How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?
    I have been having issues with using the Magic Wand tool in Adobe Illustrator as well as the lasso tool.
    Basically, I am trying to put a small graphic into a new Illustrator file.
    The first thing I tried to do is to use the magic wand tool.  But I found out that this did not work on a jpeg image since it did not have any individual objects to select.
    So I tried something new.  I opened the file in Adobe Photoshop and used the lasso tool to select an area.  Then I coped this area.  Then I tried to paste it into Adobe Illustrator.  But the background was not transparent for the pasted image.
    How do I make the background transparent.
    I made this small video to show what I am talking about:
    http://youtu.be/2LgMGEF6z10

    Don't Copy/Paste the image.
    Make it transparent in Photoshop, save a PSD and place it in Illustrator

    Windows 8 how do you make the bookmarks column "flexible"?

    Is the problem with the Bookmarks Sidebar -- the one you can open and close by pressing Ctrl+b? It does seem to have a minimum width and won't get narrower than that, but I'm not sure whether you are running into that limitation or whether for some reason you are not getting the resizing arrow when you mouse over the thin border between the sidebar and the page.
