Dear All ,
In sysinstall , there are menu items to install packages from release DVD .
In bsdinstall , there is NO such package installation menu items .
Another problem is there is no any available information about this subject
in the Handbook installation pages ( at least I could not find any one one
) .
Is there any such available information link , and is there any possibility
to include such information into Handbook pages and Release Notes templates
?
When there is no such information , people will use
pkg_add -r ...
statement although many packages are already in the release DVD which means
a large waste of band width .
( Please consider less experienced people : Each year , many persons are
entering into an age to try FreeBSD without prior experience about FreeBSD
. Lack of necessary information about install is an important obstacle for
such new entries . )
Thank you very much .
