I failed to realize you were past OS installation for some reason. I'm unable to help with your current circumstances, but you could build a custom DVD ISO containing the packages you're looking for (This is something I've done with previous FreeBSD releases, but not yet in 10.x with pkg(8)). I bet there's probably other ways to deal with this, but I'd have to defer to the list. -- Take care Rick Miller
