Greetings,
While I'm on releng_8, and releng_9. I think I can safely assume any differences in regard to installing packages from the INSTALL media, would be trivial. But before anyone can answer with any confidence. It isn't
quite clear, whether you're asking about installing packages during the install process. Or post-install (after you've installed, and booted to your new installation).
That said. If you're referring to installing packages while in the installation process; when the mandatory actions have been completed -- disk initialization, base package selection, network setup, and chosen services, selected / configured, and those are complete. You are
normally asked if you would like to visit the ports list, for an opportunity to install additional Ports (technically, packages). If these are the packages you're referring to. That's how it normally happens. Did you choose NO to that question during install? Even if you had chosen no at that point. It's still a simple matter to search available ports/packages from the install DVD1 media. By returning to the initial install menu, and choosing "post installation ...". Then you'll be presented with the opportunity to pick, and choose ports (packages) to install. But generally speaking, it's usually a better choice to install subversion, and after installation, suck down the most recent version of the
src, and
ports trees. Because it's otherwise a potential security hazard. As the install media isn't kept current, and many ports, and the
src tree itself will quite possibly contain security problems, that should be addressed ASAP.
portsnap(8), and
portfetch() are a couple of other options to accomplish that.
