Hi, I would like to update the installed packages at home. There are two problems: 1) there is only dialup internet connection. That pretty much rules out the possibility of using 'pkg_add -r' 2) I want to use packages, because using ports will take days and the systems are not that fast. So, I cannot use 'make fetch-recursive' I would like to create a package repository with the packages of choice, burn these to one or two CDs, take them home, and do the installation. I guess I can install inside a jail the packages of choice, are there any other options? Thanks in advance, Nikos
