[indiana-discuss] Resetting the root ips image?

[Josh]

Well this is actually two questions

I was trying to install the ZFS web management console from the Nevada disk so I tried to set the 'root image?' to the cdrom in order to install packages by using this command which didnt work:

pkg image-create -a prefile=file://cdrom/sol_11_x86/Solaris_11/Product/ /

So the first part of the question is how can I use ips to install packages off the Nevada release dvd?

Well then I wanted to be able to install packages from the default repository so I tried

pkg image-create -U -a opensolaris.org=http://pkg.opensolaris.org /

But now when I try to install any package I think it tries to reinstall all packages I already have on my system, for instance I have SUNWgcc installed from before, but it tries to reinstall it and all dependencies. How can I reset things so that the package manager knows what packages I already have installed?

josh at hrtpstore:~# pkg install SUNWgcc
