Re: How to create a .depot file from an exisitng depot?
A valid SD depot file can simply be copied ('rc', 'scp', FTP) to another server and the installation performed there.

Re: How to create a .depot file from an exisitng depot?
The file copy is going to take a long time, assuming the RSP depot is big and thats why the installation took a long time.
On the target system, you might want to check that DNS name resolution is working properly, because a named install from an NFS share is going to look up the name many times.
scp, ftp, rcp, and doing the install locally will as you want bypass the problem. Detecting the actual cause of the problem might be somewhat useful.

Re: How to create a .depot file from an exisitng depot?
I'll give it a second look. I assume its because its a fractional T1 line running at 128 Kb, but its probably worth looking to see what's limiting bandwidth.

Re: How to create a .depot file from an exisitng depot?
There is no need to register ('swreg') your copied depot unless you wish to utilize it over the network; and you said that was not your objective.

Re: How to create a .depot file from an exisitng depot?
ftp it to your server
gunzip / untar
swinstall
( as mentioned there is no need to register it. swreg is only needed if you are creating a respository on one server to server other servers. )
I would bet $1 that by the time you get all this done you would have spent the same amount of time, barring the mentioned DNS possibility )
Other options: These packages should all be on one of the Core DVDs or application DVDs, order or make copies, ship via fedex.. ?

Solutionswpackage -s /var/spool/sw -x media_type=tape @ /dev/rmt/0m
Replace that tape device with a file that is *not* a tape device and you are good to go.
