Setting Up OpenBSD for Remote Binary Installs

Posted by Tres Mon, 15 Oct 2007 05:10:00 GMT

An easy way to get OpenBSD to allow remote binary installs via pkgadd is to set up your .profile or .bashprofile with the following:

 export PKG_PATH=http://mirror.planetunix.net/pub/OpenBSD/`uname -r`/packages/`uname -m`/

Once you’ve got that, you can automatically add packages.

You might want to find a closer mirror depending on where you are: from here: http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html
