I haven't tuned in (to the video) but CultBSD was very memorable.

I'm reverting from Linux to FreeBSD

I don't attempt to keep track of either system, but both of them came up in a recent discussion about 32-bit security updates:

Install packages from a FreeBSD installer DVD – with neither a DVD nor a network connection
grahamperrin 3 months ago • 100%
At https://www.freebsdmall.com/cgi-bin/fm/bsddvd14.1:
… How to install packages from the disc: …
Plus, there's a simpler, three-step routine if using the medium (not necessarily a disc) after installation of the OS – before exiting the installer.
- In the Manual Configuration dialogue, choose Yes
/bin/cshsetenv REPOS_DIR /dist/packages/repos
– then use pkg commands as normal.
You'll have the DVD repo alone – with an archaic name, FreeBSD_install_cdrom – none of the online repos. This offline repo includes things such as graphics/drm-515-kmod, but not things such as x11/nvidia-driver. We can't have everything offline in this way, DVD image space is constrained.
When you want no more from the offline DVD repo:
exit
– then, if an Internet connection was gained during installation, online repos will be available.
Related: [Write to a USB drive from the URL of a compressed disc image](https://blendit.bsd.cafe/post/158264). The example below assumes that your USB drive is at `/dev/da0`. Run commands as the superuser. 1. `mkdir /media/aninstaller` 2. `mount_cd9660 /dev/da0 /media/aninstaller` 3. `mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos` 4. `ee /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/aninstaller.conf` 5. `pkg bootstrap --yes -r aninstaller` 6. `pkg update --repository aninstaller` 7. `pkg rquery -r aninstaller "%o%n" | sort | less` You'll get a list of available packages. Key **q** to quit the pager. Then use `pkg` as you normally would, but limited to the `aninstaller` repo. For example: - `pkg install -r aninstaller firefox` ---- Content for the `aninstaller.conf` file: ``` aninstaller: { url: "file:////media/aninstaller/packages/FreeBSD:14:amd64", REPO_AUTOUPDATE: "false", mirror_type: "none", enabled: yes } ``` **Important**: switch from `yes`, to `no`, after temporarily using the USB drive as a source for the repo. ---- Some manual pages: - [ee(1)](https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ee&sektion=1&manpath=freebsd-release) - [less(1)](https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=less&sektion=1&manpath=freebsd-release) - [mount_cd9660(8)](https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mount_cd9660&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release)
Use the output from the third command to determine which number – **not** `99` – must be set in the fourth command. 1. `tcsh` 2. `su -` 3. `geom disk list` 4. `setenv dadevicenumber 99` 5. `setenv remotesumfile https://download.freebsd.org/releases/ISO-IMAGES/14.1/CHECKSUM.SHA512-FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-amd64` 6. `setenv localsumfile ./CHECKSUM.SHA512-FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-amd64` 7. `setenv remoteimage https://download.freebsd.org/releases/ISO-IMAGES/14.1/FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso.xz` 8. `setenv localimage ./FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso.xz` 9. ``cd /tmp && fetch $remotesumfile && fetch -v $remoteimage -o $localimage && setenv image512 `openssl sha512 $localimage | cut -w -f2` ; grep $image512 $localsumfile && xzcat $localimage | dd bs=1m status=progress of=/dev/da$dadevicenumber`` 10. `exit` 11. `exit` Hint: - triple-click to select a paragraph. The example above uses the `⋯dvd1.iso.xz` file (compressed DVD image) for FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE on AMD64, which: - does not require a DVD - [includes packages for popular software](https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/releng/14.1/release/scripts/pkg-stage.sh#L15-L35) such as KDE Plasma, SDDM, and Mozilla Firefox.
