Yeah, I could just do the core install then add any extra packages as and when I need them manually. Their are things i want like SAR, all the c++ header files etc. Found a list on docs.sun.com as to what packages are installed in each cluster, JET also has the option to remove packages so I could try that route maybe. I did buy some larger disks, but 1 was DOA!
Thanks,

DESCRIPTION
setup provides a graphical installation interface for EPM-generated portable installation packages. It presents a step-by-step dialog for
collecting a list of packages to install and accepting any license agreements for those packages.
setup searches for products in the current directory or the directory specified on the command-line.
INSTALLATION TYPES
The default type of installation is "custom". That is, users will be able to select from the list of products and install them.
setup also supports other types of installations. The setup.types file, if present, defines the other installation types.
