yeah - i used pkgchk to create a list of packages that have changed, so
my next plan is to install them all.

btw, does anyone know if the pkg-get utility (from the sunfreeware site)
will work with sun's packages, and if so, how does one generate the
appropriate package list file?

i'd love to mount the cd on another machine, copy the packages i need to
a directory that's web accessible, and use 'pkg-get' to install the
packages i need.
