--- Comment #9 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@gmail.com> ---
Bug 266743 comment 7 in a nutshell: 

* success with addition of a freebsd-installer repo to 
  /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf
  (consistent with comment 6 above)

* failure with env(1) (the screenshot captures only 
  two failed experiments; various other experiments 
  also failed).


I guess, this bug 289875 should:

* at least, fix the non-existence of 
  /dist/packages/repos
  before 15.0-RELEASE

* ideally, simplify FreeBSD Installer for the live system to be 
  immediately usable with the 
  -dvd1.iso offline non-base repo (xorg et cetera), plus maybe the 
            offline  _base_  repo.


For example: an operator might be surprised by the absence of csh/tcsh (or easy
editor or whatever) after completing a minimal installation. If the relevant
bases packages are offline: make it easy to use these packages.
