PHP Installing SUNWman in Solaris 10 *Help!*

Hi there,
I have a somewhat...interesting problem. I am doing a course at my local TAFE that has a UNIX Fundamentals component.
Long story short, for our lab/prac work, our teacher created a custom-made Solaris 10 Virtual PC image. Works fine, not an issue.
Except....he forgot to install SUNWman aka the "man pages" so when i go to complete exercises that require me to man this and man that (figuratively speaking) all I get is: "no manual entry for x."
I've been doing some reading up as per: "Problem with solaris 10 installation packageis/57539-problem-solaris-10-installation-package.html" and SUNWdocs is installed, just not SUNWman.
I have a Solaris 10 CD .iso that appears to contain the SUNWman packages (ImageShack - Hosting :: solarislo3.jpg). I have mounted that into my Virtual PC successfully but when i use the "pkgadd -d product" command to install the SUNWman package, I get the following error:
ImageShack - Hosting :: solaris2ok9.jpg
As I said, I cannot complete my work without having the man package installed. Any help, advice etc would be greatly appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Eliminatrix

Code:

# pkgadd -d . SUNWman
