Install ports from cd?
Hi all,
Can I install packages from ports from a cd or do I have to have an internet connection? |

http://openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#Easy If you have the official CD set, many of the packages available for the more popular hardware platforms can be found there. Otherwise, you will need an Internet connection to install these applications. Note that for the i386 platform, there is little if any reason to ever compile applications as most are already available as packages. This does not hold true for the less common platforms. If you are new to OpenBSD & its packages/ports system, studying Section 15 will save you significant time. |

In another place, your friend or your work, you could fetch all the source files and write them to CD
Code:
make fetch Code:
make fetch depends I will leave that to others, as I don't have the time at this moment to figure that out

I don't quite understand your post xCipherx - you want to install packages, ports or you want to download them on separate machine and then install at home? If one has distfiles on a CD it should be enough to cp them to distfiles dir or set a DISTDIR variable pointing to there. If installing packages (recommended as opposed to ports) from a CD then set PKG_PATH to the mount path of CDROM. Have not used OpenBSD for a while, I hope I'm not wrong here. |
