Although the laptop doesn't have network access, you can still install the ports tree
(ports.tar.gz on the official CD set or available on the mirrors...) & generate the dependency lists
(one for building & the other for runtime...)- Details on installing the ports tree is covered in Section 5.3.3 of the FAQ:
http://openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#BldGetSrc
- Details on generating the dependency lists can be found in the archives:
http://daemonforums.org/showthread.p...t=dependencies
make print-build-depends & make print-run-depends are my favorites.
- Familiarizing yourself with the FAQ's discussion on applications found in the ports tree (whether installed by packages or building...) is good background information to have:
http://openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html
- A handy third-party site for searching for information on available ports can be found at the following:
http://openports.se/
Although, be cognizant that this site focuses on developers, & thus on -current. Very recently added applications will not be avaiable for -release yet.
Let us know if you have any problems.
