    Note - If you do not exit the OpenWindows desktop, you can start the special-keys daemon with the command /usr/openwin/bin/speckeysd.

Installing Power Management on a Standalone System Using pkgadd

  1. Insert the SPARC Vendors' Software CD into the CD caddy (supplied with your CD-ROM drive).

  2. Insert the caddy into the CD-ROM drive.

    If there is a CD in the drive, type eject in a shell window to remove the CD. The contents of the CD is displayed in the window.

  3. Become superuser by typing:


  example% su  
  Password: root password  
  example#  

  1. Type /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d device SUNWcpr SUNWpmu SUNWpmr SUNWpmow.

    For example:


  # /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d /upd_sol_2_4_hw1194_smcc/SMCC/\  
   SUNWcpr SUNWpmu SUNWpmr SUNWpmow  

The device argument to the -d option must be a full path name to a device or directory. If you do not specify the device on which the package resides, pkgadd checks the default spool directory (/var/spool/pkg). If the package cannot be located, you will not be able to complete the installation. If pkgadd encounters a problem during installation of the package, information about the problem is displayed, followed by this prompt:

  Do you want to continue with this installation?  

You can respond by typing either yes, no, or quit.
