>Any idea? I'd think using a net connected box, setting PKG_CACHE and PKG_PATH and then pkg_add -n <package_you_want>. The required packages should end up in the PKG_CACHE directory. From there you should be able to transfer them over to the eeepc. If the soekris isn't current, you could try this in a chroot environment or a virtual machine (e.g. qemu) setup. >Thanks, >Dorian Kind regards, Hannah.
