Is the path to the CD with the software to be added to the

installed system.

installed system. For example, SUNWaudio.

If the pkgadd process encounters a problem during installation of the package, it

displays a message related to the problem, followed by this prompt:

Do you want to continue with this installation?

Respond with yes, no,orquit. If more than one package has been speciﬁed,

type no to stop the installation of the package being installed. The pkgadd

4. Verify that the package has been installed correctly.

# /usr/sbin/pkgchk -v pkgid

If the pkgchk command determines there are no errors, it returns a list of

installed ﬁles. Otherwise, it reports the error.
