Does anyone know if it is possible to install pkg and some packages from the FreeBSD installer "Post Install' shell?
The installation is going into a chroot correct? How is this size limited? Could you install Xorg and components from this shell?
Well I'll be... pkg install xorg works from the "Manual Install" section at the end of a FreeBSD install.
What I was calling Post-Install shell.
That is a neat trick.
See, new users make you think outside the box sometimes.
I did not realize that the installer already has the medium mounted.
So the disk size is the limit for the packages you could install at this "Manual Install" phase.
Maybe you could even fetch/run a post install script.
