Yes, I started doing this when -13.0 came out, and it takes a few iterations to get it right, I didn't finish, gave up... This was for a reduced install for a CLI only box. Just as easy (and as boring) to do a selective install, repair what one forgot to add, added by mistake later. Is there a script to produce tagfile set from working installation? Parse the /var/adm/packages/ list, remove package versions, allocate back to a, ap, etc sets to make the tagfile ADDs, and put rest of packages in as SKPs? Wonder what the installer does for a package not listed in tagfile, ignore it? To lazy to check, I'm sleep- writing ;) Grant.
