The working method/syntax of installing SVR4 packages using AI for Solaris 11.1

in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC)
The methods shown in the Oracle documentation are incorrect/lacking for installing SVR4 packages during AI,  below is the corrected method.  Oracle has a documentation SR open for this but it is predicted not to be released until 11.2.  Had to write an SR and Oracle acknowledged the documentation is incorrect.

Part of auto_install XML below:

      <software_data action="install">
        <name>pkg:/entire</name>
      </software_data>
    </software>

<!-- Now an example of the correct way to get SVR4 packages installed -->

    <software type="SVR4">
      <source>

          <origin name="/net/An_Install_Server/Path_at_root_of_Installserver/Sub_dir..../Package_1.pkg"/>

Howdy, Stranger!
