(Ive decided to leave out the email addresses in summaries)

a fews points were made:
1: names that start with SUNWC are themselves a a cluster of packages. From
this I should be able to work out exactly what a developer install puts on
(with doing one and then subtracting from the minimal).
2: you can boot from CDrom and do an upgrade install to developer (I didnt
want this I want to know exactly what Im putting  on the  box)
3: the following set of packages should get me started.

system      SUNWsprot      Solaris Bundled tools 
system      SUNWhea        SunOS Header Files
system      SUNWtoo        Programming Tools
system      SUNWtoox       Programming Tools (64-bit)
system      SUNWarc        Archive Libraries
system      SUNWarcx       Archive Libraries (64-bit)
system      SUNWbtool      CCS tools bundled with SunOS

This is what Ill do. I really need a "minimal" development box. 

I forgot to mention in the original post that gcc is the intended compiler.
Ill be putting on other GNU tools either by compiling or from sunfreeware
(depending on what customisations we want). 

Thanks all
