If you have the .txz/.tbz package file, then it's a simple: # pkg install /path/to/firefox-versions-blahblah.txz I believe you can specify multiple packages on the command-line and it will install them all. If there are required dependencies, you'll have to specify them on the command-line as well. If you specify all the packages on the CLI, then it won't check the remote repo. There's also a flag you can add to prevent it from doing a behind-the-scenes "pkg upgrade" before the install. Ah yes, it's -U or --no-repo-update. -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
