Wouldn't you want to use Parametric Path names for this? You could set default base directory names in your pkginfo and then change them via a request script... See the Application Packaging Developer's Guide in the Advanced Package Creation Techniques chapter. This doc is available off of the Sun Web site.

All, Sorry i am posting this question in this group. Can someone tell me how i can get a directory input from user and install the package in that directory in solaris using pkgadd? I have issues with redefining BASEDIR in request, then pass it on to the rest of the scripts. Thanks Barry Please do not transmit orders or instructions regarding a UBS account by email.
