If the repo is already on a DVD (or USB) drive, it would seem to be "no big deal" (TM) to make the DVD bootable, fire up a pkg server listening on localhost then kick off the text-based installer. Big bonus points if the media could be used to boot sparc and x86. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/
