As Rick pointed out, the package split script will get the packages on the m= edia. You also need to modify the install process to actually install the de= fault packages. You might want to look at the bsdinstall setup and add a scr= ipt there to load the packages. Another approach is to create a script that r= uns on first boot that can install the packages via network or possibly off t= he media. For MidnightBSD, I created a firstboot script that prompts the use= r to install a graphical desktop environment and the fetched meta packages f= rom our ports tree that would pull down everything required for kde or GNUst= ep + window maker. It was easier as we had sysinstall still.=20 Lucas Holt On May 10, 2013, at 9:55 AM, Shawn Webb <lattera@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey All, >=20 > I'm looking to generate a FreeBSD 9-stable (and maybe 10-current) ISO that= > has certain packages pre-installed.
