Remove unwanted Solaris packages (Rev: 1.1)

After installing a full Solaris 10 5/2008 operating system (SPARC) with OEM support packages to the SUN Fire 280R server, I created a simple script (jrmpkg) to remove those packages that I did not want to free up hardisk space. You can copy and paste the below jrmpkg codes, and save it as any filename at your Solaris 10 machine. Modify the codes as you wish before running it.
