Any concern about the POST-INSTALL failure due to /var/run being read-only? (That one is not as simple to fix as /var/cache and /var/db/pkg, since the memstick's /var/run is not empty.) > Curious as to why you're using an older version of pkg there -- > we're up to 1.6.2 nowadays. It is the version I downloaded from pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:32/release_2/Latest on 12/21 (when I started on this exercise). If I'm remembering correctly, .../release_2 appeared to be the area which most nearly corresponded to what would have been current when 10.2 was released. I have gotten burned before by trying to install package sets that are newer than the release on which they are being installed -- sticking with what presumably worked at release time seems safer, at least to get an initial, working configuration.
