Solaris 10u10 package update

Post by LBell »

I recently installed Solaris 10u10 and configured the network with no problems on virtualbox 4.1.6.
In order to install Oracle 10g, I need to install packages: SUNWfont-xorg-core, SUNWfont-xorg-iso8859-1, and SUNWxwfsw

Problem is, pkg install does not seem to exist in 10 as it does in Solaris 11.
How can I get and install these three packages?

Sorry for the beginner question, but Solaris admin is new to me.

Thanks

open up a terminal, type bash (not needed but adds a lot of features like autocomplete.)
you use the pkgadd -d command in solaris 10 like other versions

pkgadd -d <pkg_name>
