It's a very bad idea! It just haugs all your space, and you won't use, or even know about them. Please be more specific. Which package? If you want, one you've installed FreeBSD, you can download all the source code for all the pakcages. If you want them in packages form, there should be something like /usr/ports? Either way, there will be a way you can install packages later. > Hello, > I just bought the Complete Freebsd set and when I was installing, I came > across an error when trying to install "all" of the packages which is > later in the installation.
