Installing pkgs from a list

[balanga]

Is this the recommended way of installing pkgs from a listfile:-

cat pkg.lst | xargs pkg install

I thought I saw some example of using redirection, but can't find it.

I have no idea about the recommended way, I'd imagine that 'recommended' would mean "it works".

Your example above looks plausible, I usually rely on # pkg install `cat pkg.list` myself.
