I do not expect this to be resolved anytime soon, and certainly not before 10.2-RELEASE. Instructions on using the on-disc packages for installation were included in the 10.1-RELEASE announcement email, and will be included in the 10.2-RELEASE email as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
