Description:
We provide binaries for Solaris in 'PKG' format but installation procedures for this 
packaging system is missed in our manual.

How to repeat:
Check for installation procedures for 'pkg' format in following chapters:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/installing.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/installing-binary.html

Suggested fix:
Below are basic information about using "pkg" packaging system that could be used for additional text to describe installation procedures of binaries in 'pkg' format:
  - add package
    pkgadd -d <package.pkg>
  - remove package
    pkgrm <package name>
  - get full list of packages installed
    pkginfo
  - detailed info for a package
    pkginfo -l <package name>
  - list of files belonging to a package
    pkgchk -v <package name>
  - packaging information for an arbitrary given file
    pkgchk -l -p <exact filename>
