Try:
swinstall -s /var/spool/sw/B6849AA_B.02.01.03.depot B6849AA

you da ma, thanks that worked

/usr/sbin/swinstall is sufficient to bring a text menu.

After that, in the depot field, write the full path to the .depot file (starting with the root / )

Thank's a lot Perderabo

it works!
I've been searching everywhere how to make the system recognice the depot file.
swlist told me my depot file was correct
swinstall told me there were no depot file

swinstall -s /var/spool/sw/B6849AA_B.02.01.03.depot #that's what I used
swinstall -s /var/spool/sw/B6849AA_B.02.01.03.depot B6849AA #is the correct

thank you again
