Hello, I am trying to get a Network install working on my local network. I have been able to successfully create a NFS export of the installation disk and perform a install from there. The target machines boot over PXE and fetch "stuff" from the NFS. However I am unable to figure out how to get the packages working. I have a list of about 180 packages which needs to be installed. But I am unable to figure out how to go about it. I would like to use precompiled packages, but the CD do not contain the packages I am looking for. One of the option is to mirror the whole package directory from the freebsd mirrors, but that story involves a lot of data transfer and bandwidth. Is there something obvious I am missing? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks Subhro
