Re: pkg_add on machine without Internet connection

Thanks for the replies.

I ended up installing pkg_fetch on a machine that had Internet access and then:

% setenv PKG_PATH 
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/5.0.2_2010Q2/All/
% pkg_fetch -v kdebase4-4.4.4nb1.tgz
No package for kdebase4-4.4.4nb1.tgz found, continuing

Then transferring the fetched files to the other machine and running:

# pkg_add -v /path/to/binaries/kdebase4-4.4.4nb1.tgz
