|
|---|
| 12 | interface package before installing the new ones.

|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | 1. Login as root using the "su" command.
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | 2. Install the packages (in this order):
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | (*) First, the VirtualBox kernel interface package:
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | pkgadd -G -d VirtualBoxKern-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.pkg
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | To perform an unattended (non-interactive) installation of this package add
|
|---|
| 31 | "-n -a autoresponse SUNWvboxkern" (without quotes) to the end of the above pkgadd command.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | (*) Next, the main VirtualBox package:
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | pkgadd -d VirtualBox-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.pkg
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | To perform an unattended (non-interactive) installation of this package add
|
|---|
| 38 | "-n -a autoresponse SUNWvbox" (without quotes) to the end of the above pkgadd command.
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | 3. For each package the installer would ask you to "Select package(s) you wish to process"
|
|---|
| 41 | For this type "1" or "all".
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
