[OpenIndiana-discuss] pkg only installing command-line tools

[Rainer Heilke]

Thanks, I may take you up on that. Right now I'm installing software I 
need. Interestingly enough, on this install, the package manager is 
borked. It will start from the command line with pfexec, but not from 
the System->Administration menu. Easy enough to get around, but it makes 
me wonder how well the LiveCD image was tested...
