The first step for the Mall's FreeBSD 13.1 DVD was: > Mount the disc to the '/dist' directory 2/ A second expectation, before 15.0, would have been documentation (bug 266743) on use of the non-base package repository _before_ first boot of the installed OS. Using either a file (-dvd1.iso, for example) or a physical medium. 3/ A third expectation, since the May 2025 call for testing <https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-pkgbase/2025-May/000516.html>, is for FreeBSD Installer to use packages. The bsdinstall part of FreeBSD Installer does use packages. The live system conclusion of FreeBSD Installer seems to use three online repos, listed by pkg repos -el | sort -f FreeBSD-base FreeBSD-ports FreeBSD-ports-kmods – but not the offline repo within -dvd1.iso -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
