Solaris 10 Companion Disk Install Problem

Question

Hi All,
Trying to add a few things to a Solaris 10 (Sparc) install, from the
Software Compainion disk. When I go through the install, either GUI
or texted based it will fail in the end. If you look at the last part
of the text below you can you can see I have selected the packages,
then agreed to the license, next it acts like it going to install but
stop and reports nothing installed.
Next you can select 4 to be "Done" or 1-3 to view log.
Log states following:
/var/sadm/install/logs/Desktop-Environment_install.B02081004 does not
exist
I only selected one of the logs to view that time through, but the
other installs would have the same error, something like:
/var/sadm/install/logs/X-Applications_install.B02080955 does not exist
/var/sadm/install/logs/Application-Utilities_install.B02080955 does not
exist
I have plenty of disk space, 12GB free on /opt and 14GB free on / and
16GB on /usr.
I have the boxed set of Solaris 10 disk, but I have even downloaded
another disk image thinking my disk was some how bad, still same
results.
Any ideas on what is going on?
Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,
If you cd into the cdrom from command line:
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0
# ls
you should see some kind of structure to how the the packages are laid out on the disk.
Use pkgadd on one or more package:
# pkgadd -d . <package_name>
You will get more output this way.
