For example, if you have set up an Oracle Solaris 10 net image at /export/s10u9/dvds/latest, then make the following changes in the rm_install_client script at /export/s10u9/dvds/latest/Solaris_10/Tools/rm_install_client:

Change line 168 from this:

ANS=`nslookup ${K} 2>&1`

to this:

ANS=`nslookup ${K} | /bin/sed '/^;;/d' 2>&1`

Change line 273 from this:

ANS=`echo $ANS | sed -e 's/#.*$//'`

to this:

ANS=`echo $ANS | sed -e 's/ #.*$//'`
