This is planned to be fixed in -RC2. While there are packages available on the dvd1.iso image, they cannot yet be installed with bsdconfig(8). They can be installed manually, however. To install packages from the dvd1.iso installer, create and mount the /dist directory: # mkdir -p /dist # mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /dist Next, install pkg(8) from the DVD: # env REPOS_DIR=/dist/packages/repos \ pkg add /dist/packages/freebsd:9:*:*/All/pkg-*.txz At this point, pkg-install(8) can be used to install additional packages from the DVD. Please note, the REPOS_DIR environment variable should be used each time using the DVD as the package repository, otherwise conflicts with packages from the upstream mirrors may occur when they are fetched. For example, to install the Subversion, Gnome, and Xorg, run: # env REPOS_DIR=/dist/packages/repos \ pkg install subversion gnome2 xorg " Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
