Installing additional packages

Previous  Top  Next

We will utilize rsync to copy files from and to our ramdisk, since it is not included we will have to manually add it. Type the following commands:

·

mkdir /cdrom

·

mount /dev/cd0a /cdrom

·

pkg_add /cdrom/3.3/packages/i386/rsync-2.5.6.tgz

We personally prefer the bash shell over other shells so we'll install that as well by typing

·

pkg_add /cdrom/3.3/packages/i386/bash-2.05b-static.tgz

Note that both of these applications will be installed in the /usr/local directory.
