X-BeenThere: freebsd-gnome@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: GNOME for FreeBSD -- porting and maintaining List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2008 01:16:48 -0000 I want to install Gnome in a classroom situation, either live or as a homework project. I prefer not requiring the bandwidth a network install entails. This step will follow installing FreeBSD, so it will be on a clean machine. Is there a way to do this using CD-ROM? What if I did it once ahead of time, then copied all the tarballs to the new machine's /usr/ports/distfiles, then ran the gnome2 installer? Would that work without a network connection? Is there a way to run the installer with the option to take all defaults and not prompt? I recall having my recent installs get stuck several times waiting for me to accept the proposed configuration for this or that port. Mahalo!
