Colin/Lexi: See later notes below about the content of packages/repos/FreeBSD_install_cdrom.conf . The rest is probably not of interest. # ls -lodT ~/FreeBSD-15.0-BETA3-amd64-dvd1.iso=20 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel uarch 4245942272 Oct 23 23:35:48 2025 = /usr/home/root/FreeBSD-15.0-BETA3-amd64-dvd1.iso Having mounted it to /mnt . . . # find -s /mnt/ -name FreeBSD_install_cdrom.conf -print /mnt/packages/repos/FreeBSD_install_cdrom.conf # ls -lodT /mnt/packages/* drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 2048 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/FreeBSD:15:amd64 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 0 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/freebsd:15:x86:64 -> FreeBSD:15:amd64 drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 2048 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 /mnt/packages/repos # ls -lodT /mnt/packages/*/* drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 106496 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/FreeBSD:15:amd64/All drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 2048 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/FreeBSD:15:amd64/Latest -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 206116 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/FreeBSD:15:amd64/data.pkg lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 0 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/FreeBSD:15:amd64/data.tzst -> data.pkg -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 179 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/FreeBSD:15:amd64/meta -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 179 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/FreeBSD:15:amd64/meta.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 206139 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/FreeBSD:15:amd64/packagesite.pkg lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 0 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/FreeBSD:15:amd64/packagesite.tzst -> packagesite.pkg drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 106496 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/freebsd:15:x86:64/All drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 2048 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/freebsd:15:x86:64/Latest -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 206116 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/freebsd:15:x86:64/data.pkg lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 0 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/freebsd:15:x86:64/data.tzst -> data.pkg -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 179 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/freebsd:15:x86:64/meta -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 179 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/freebsd:15:x86:64/meta.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 206139 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/freebsd:15:x86:64/packagesite.pkg lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 0 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/freebsd:15:x86:64/packagesite.tzst -> packagesite.pkg -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel - 209 Oct 23 23:05:51 2025 = /mnt/packages/repos/FreeBSD_install_cdrom.conf # cat /mnt/packages/repos/FreeBSD_install_cdrom.conf # # # The pkg(8) repository configuration file for the installation DVD. # FreeBSD_install_cdrom: { url: "file:///dist/packages/${ABI}", mirror_type: "none", enabled: yes } FreeBSD: { enabled: no } (The comment or something should probably be explicit about "port-package repository configuration file for the installation DVD" these days. More importantly the content lacks a 'enabled: no' for FreeBSD-ports and for FreeBSD-ports-kmods as well.) # ls -lodT /mnt/dist/* ls: /mnt/dist/*: No such file or directory # find -s /mnt/ -name dist -print /mnt/var/audit/dist # ls -lodT /mnt/var/audit/dist/* ls: /mnt/var/audit/dist/*: No such file or directory That suggests that the dvd (if any) or .iso is mounted to /dist in the intended context, not to /mnt like I did. QUOTE of: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/bsdinstall/ -dvd1.iso: This file contains all of the files needed to install FreeBSD, its source, and the Ports Collection. It also contains a set of popular binary packages for installing a window manager and some applications so that a complete system can be installed from media without requiring a connection to the Internet. . . . END QUOTE There is no claim there that most of the alternative window managers or most applications are included. # ls -C1 /mnt/packages/FreeBSD:15:amd64/All/*.pkg | wc -l 647 So some is there, but not all that much. I was unable to check your X11/KDE/GNOME reference, as there is nothing with any specific name that you gave for checking. It was easier to guess at: # ls -lodT /usr/ports/*/nano drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel uarch 6 Sep 11 22:08:50 2025 = /usr/ports/editors/nano # ls -C1 /mnt/packages/FreeBSD:15:amd64/All/nano*.pkg ls: /mnt/packages/FreeBSD:15:amd64/All/nano*.pkg: No such file or = directory So, yea, not there. But not all that surprising. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
