Hi all, I am performing PXE boots and automated installs of FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE with a custom sysinstall.cfg file which identifies packages that are to be installed in addition to the distributions. We have need to install compat6x-amd64 and I'd like to have this done during install. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this package exists in the FreeBSD media from which the install occurs. However, it is available through the ports collection. What is the relationship between the packages directory on the media and the ports collection? Is there a process that identifies what ports are made available in the packages directory of the media? Is it possible to take a port, make a package of it and put it in the packages directory of my own media? --Rick
