I just got that far by myself, but thanks for the suggestion anyway. I'm afraid that not _everything_ I need is on the DVD though. The DVD does include pkg (from which one can extract pkg-static to install it) and perl, but not the open-vm-tools package or the compat6-amd64 that the VMWare supplied vmware-tools claims to require. It also lacks a vmware frame-buffer for Xorg, but perhaps that is provided by the (missing) vmware-tools package? There is a samba package that probably contains the necessary libraries to use NTLM authentication, but no Squid to combine those into a local NTLM-enabled proxy to get past the company proxy. This is my first time dabbling in proxy-waters and weird Windows authentication schemes, so I'm a little reliant on tutorials I found on the internet and the few around all use squid and samba... If there are other (probably better) ways, I'd love to hear them. Perhaps I don't need Squid?
