Is there a way? You can just download base.txz direct from the FreeBSD FTP servers. eg: http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/12.1-RELEASE/base.txz That's the same as goes into the release images. Make the obvious substitutions for different CPU architectures or release versions. To answer your actual question: try tar(1). It can read a lot of disk-image formats. Not sure about the .img file, but it can certainly read .iso images. Cheers, Matthew
