You can point pkg_add to the stable packages with the PACKAGESITE environme=
nt=20
variable (takes a complete URL), so it will fetch them when invoked with -r=
=2E=20
You can also point pkg_add to a mirrorsite of ftp.freebsd.org with either t=
he=20
PACKAGESITE or the PACKAGEROOT environment variable, see the pkg_add manpag=
e=20
for more information.
