I kept on trying, no merci with this system, and as usual I had blamed the system first before looking at with I did wrong myself ... Summarized: I attempted to load the Solaris software packages on the Jumpstart server on a small disk of 1 GB, and obviously it did not fit entirely on that disk. So I managed to get the two Solaris Software CDs loaded on that disk, while removing unncessary packages from the Jumpstart disk to free up space (like Asian fonts etc, taking lots of space). Apparently the Jumpstart image does not like such situation : when jumpstarting, it makes an inventory of all packages that are to be installed (thus everything it finds on the Jumpstart disk), loads them on the target system, but then gets some kind of conflict with 'what is finds' against 'what it expected' (missing Asian-font packages). So I shuffled around with my disks, got enough place free to install the whole load of both Solaris Software CDs, and off it went ! Apparently no-one else had ever encountered such old-fashioned disk-space problems with his Jumpstart installation, since I did not get a single reply from this mailing list. Anyhow, problem fixed. Up to next one.

But when the last package is installed, is terminated with the message Could not create product file. blabla (failure messages) and aborted. I loaded Solaris-9 12/02 on the Jumpstart server. Any problem with that ?
