I'm trying to jumpstart a machine with Solaris 10, however the disks in my machine are only 18GB, but I want to have all the developer packages but none of the X windows stuff that can be quite large.
Wondered if it was possible to somehow get a list of all packages and remove the ones I dont need?

Thanks.
Your jumpstart server should have the minimal installation type, by doing that its the easiest method to accomplish your minimal installation for your new setup

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!
use "jet" from sun and configure jumpstart with the provided templates. you can easily install a full cluster and uninstall unneeded metapackes or packages.
I've followed a few guides and have what appears to be a working jumpstart server. I can PXE boot a bare system, it gets an IP and launches the installer. However, it takes me to the screen:

Hello,
I'm having all kinds of trouble jumpstarting some SS20's.
After hunting around the newsgroups I find that this seems to be a fairly common problem with no real answer.
Here's a brief:

E250 blah blah - J/start server.
