You can install it with something along the lines of: mount /cdrom cd /cdrom/packages/*/All/ pkg add pkg-*.txz > (6) Why was something as basic as pkg not included in the base system? > After all, the system is supposed to be self-contained? pkg needs to be "bootstrapped" to be able to install other packages.
