https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=266743 Bug ID: 266743 Summary: Potentially misleading information about -dvd1.iso in release documentation and the FreeBSD Handbook Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Books & Articles Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: grahamperrin@freebsd.org CC: re@FreeBSD.org Depends on: 238314 <https://www.freebsd.org/releases/13.1R/announce/#_availability>, for example: > This contains everything necessary to install … and a small set of > pre-built packages aimed at getting a graphical workstation up and running. > … This should be all you need … As far as I can tell: the set is unusable whilst booted from the installation medium. Please see, for example, bug 238314 comment 2. If the intention is for the set to be used after booting the installed system: documentation is lacking. I found a partial answer at <https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/434857/13260>. Also, <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/bsdinstall/#bsdinstall-installation-media>: > … 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. I guess, pkg(7) can be used after booting the installed system, to bootstrap from the repository on the DVD but again, documentation is lacking. <https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg&sektion=7&manpath=FreeBSD>; Referenced Bugs: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238314 [Bug 238314] pkg not installed by dvd installer -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
