Description
Graham Perrin
![]() ![]() After finding a workaround (to bugs affecting bsdconfig(8)) in the FreeBSD Mall at <https://www.freebsdmall.com/cgi-bin/fm/bsddvd13.1?id=y5PfenJ6&mv_pc=39>, I found much the same linked from the previously mentioned answer in Unix & Linux Stack Exchange: <https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/215704/13260> The original erratum: <https://gitlab.com/FreeBSD/freebsd-doc/-/blob/main/website/content/en/releases/10.1R/errata.adoc?plain=1#L115-155> ^Triage: reporter is committer, assign accordingly. Of all suggested docs, I found the briefest and clearest (for 13.x) to be https://www.freebsdmall.com/cgi-bin/fm/bsddvd13.1?id=y5PfenJ6&mv_pc=39 Here's an adaptation including use of USB stick or md device - which could be updated later for use of bsdconfig as new patches are tested and committed. ~~~~~~~ How to install packages from the dvd1 image: • Mount the DVD to the '/dist' directory: # mkdir -p /dist # mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /dist • To install known packages, run: # env REPOS_DIR=/dist/packages/repos pkg install xorg [...] • To view the list of available packages on the DVD, run: # env REPOS_DIR=/dist/packages/repos pkg rquery "%n" If you have the .iso image dd'd to an USB memstick, replace mount /dev/cd0 above with e.g. /dev/da0 Or to mount an .iso file on disk directly: # mdconfig -f /path/to/release.iso [reported unit e.g. md0] # mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /dist Just a suggestion Graham, use anything useful. I know I tend to being too wordy. Thanks. Re: comment #1, the GitLab view is currently bugged, so I'm adding a Codeberg link.
