When you have many depot files, you can create a single big depot and install it instead of install one by one. Let’s assume that you need install the following depots, and they are all located in the directory /tmp/install/depots:

autoconf-2.64-hppa-11.11.depot bison-2.4.1-hppa-11.11.depot gawk-3.1.7-hppa-11.11.depot sed-4.2.1-hppa-11.11.depot tcltk-8.5.7-hppa-11.11.depot texinfo-4.13-hppa-11.11.depot zip-3.0-hppa-11.11.depot

To create a single depot, run the follow commands:
# cd /tmp/install/ for i in `ls depots/*.depot` ;do swcopy -s /tmp/install/$i \* @/tmp/install/big;done

Now, to install it, you can use:
# swinstall -s /tmp/install/big
