Dear All , In sysinstall , there are menu items to install packages from release DVD . In bsdinstall , there is NO such package installation menu items . Another problem is there is no any available information about this subject in the Handbook installation pages ( at least I could not find any one one ) . Is there any such available information link , and is there any possibility to include such information into Handbook pages and Release Notes templates ? When there is no such information , people will use pkg_add -r ... statement although many packages are already in the release DVD which means a large waste of band width . ( Please consider less experienced people : Each year , many persons are entering into an age to try FreeBSD without prior experience about FreeBSD . Lack of necessary information about install is an important obstacle for such new entries . ) Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
