While the docsinstall script is available for this purpose, it is not hooked into bsdinstall and only uses pkg_add. As written, it also assumes a working Internet connection even though bsdinstall does not offer to setup networking pre-install unless the media is boot-only. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
