Hello, my doughter get's her first laptop for christmas. While preparing, I went the same way I did about 18 years ago with FreeBSD 3.0, when I was new to FreeBSD and was amazed about the success rate. Needless to mention that usually I build my own packages and have decent datacenter infrastructure in our company... But I'm failing using bsdconfig(8) :-( My simple question is: How do I install FreeBSD packages offline? I want to try out regular X11-related packages like KDE or LXDE... In a way my 12 year old doughter can follow. No REPOS_DIR, no pkg(8) cli (how could she know what software there is?!). Simply a curses based GUI to select packages for installation. Is this another pkg(8) fallout? No way for beginners to get a graphical system? Thanks, -Harry
