Hi! I'd like to know if somebody could point me to a command which allows me to solve the following task: I have a machine that is not connected to the Internet. If it was, I would use # pkg_add -r <package> to install the software I want. I have another machine with Internet access, so I'd like to pre-fetch the packages and their dependencies in order to put them on a CD or PD (yes, that's for real!) to transfer them to the other machine and use pkg_add there. I know that it's possible to download packages one by one, but is there a way to include all the dependencies automatically? Thanks! -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
