Hi all,
I will soon be in the process of installing a number of FreeBSD workstations in an environment with no Internet access. My challenge is that I am looking for a way to install packages locally from an external hard drive to which I've already downloaded a package repository to be used for this purpose.
I am using FreeBSD 10.0, which would be installed from either a USB .img or DVD-ROM and the packages from the following site:
http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release_0/
My question is what should I add to /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf in order to get an installed system to use the external disk as its package repository instead of looking for one via the Internet?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
