[SunHELP] pkgadd

[Will Yardley]

well i've figured out most of my problems so far.

BUT i did something pretty dumb in retrospect.... removed the
/var/sadmin/pkg directory

is there a way to re-add the stuff in there (if i have the package file)
without actually reinstalling the package?  since i've added some
packages and removed / renamed a lot of the init scripts to keep certain
stuff from running, i'd rather not actually reinstall them, but i'd like
to have the package database pretty up-to-date.

i found this thread which seemed to imply it was possible to rebuild the
database if you had the cds (which i do).  i have a list of all the
packages that were in that directory before i hosed it.....

any ideas?

i'd rather not have to reinstall everything as it's pretty time
consuming on a ss5 with 32M of memory....

thanks.
