FreeBSD Offline Package Install
#RoboNuggie #FreeBSD
This is a way to install packages (and a desktop environment) on FreeBSD WITHOUT an internet connection by installing off the DVD ISO....It could also apply to the USB image, but the DVD1 ISO was used here. There will be no doubt a better way, but this worked for me, so it must surely work for you... :-)
Commands used:
mkdir -p /packages (or any other name....)
mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /packages
mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/
cp /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/
cp /packages/packages/repos/FreeBSD_install_cdrom.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/
