If the server and diskless client run the same OS, you can always use chroot(8) in situations like these, to make sure all files end up where they're supposed to be, and packages install correctly for the diskless client machine: server:/tmp# mkdir /diskless/foo/pkg server:/tmp# cp *.tgz /diskless/foo/pkg server:/tmp# chroot /diskless/foo server:/# pkg_add /pkg/bar.tgz server:/# rm -fr /pkg server:/# exit server:/tmp# _ - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
