Hi All,
I would like to install Netscape in sparc workstation, but I must install
SUNWCuser pkg
first. Where I can get this pkg? I checked pkginfo . OS is Solaris 7.
Thank you
Val

Packages that start with SUNWC represent "clusters" or groups of packages.
There are 5 clusters called metaclusters. They are SUNWCreq, SUNWCuser,
SUNWCprog, SUNWCall, SUNWCxall. When you initially install Solaris, if you
perform an interactive installation, you are asked to choose one of these
metaclusters. In the installation program they are represented by their
English names (other language in other countries?), something like: "Core
Required Software", "End User Software", "Programmer Software", "Entire
Distribution", and "Entire Distribution plus OEM Extensions". To see which
one of these you have on your system cat the /var/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER
file. The clusters are concentric, if you want to think of it like that, so
SUNWCuser contains SUNWCreq, and SUNWCprog contains SUNWCuser and SUNWCreq,
etc.

My bet is that you already have at least SUNWCuser installed.

That's one of the standard Solaris installation options. If you have
Solaris 7 installed on your system with the "End user system support"
level installation or higher, you have it installed.

If you look in /var/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER you should see which
cluster was originally installed (of course, subsequent pkgadd and/or
pgkrm activity may mean that the system no longer has the same packages
installed as at initial installation).

/var/sadm/system/admin/.clustertoc lists clusters and the packages which
make them up.

Neither the CLUSTER nor the .clustertoc files are guaranteed to exist or
have the same structure in future Solaris releases. They should NOT be
edited; they're quite useful as a source of information from time to
time, though.

Regards
