===== Install additional packages in an BSDRP installation =====

==== Problem ====
Once you install BSDRP, FreeBSD ports repository is not enabled, the root-partition is read-only and /var is to small to download and extract the database.

==== Solution ====
  * make sure you have extended the data slice
  * mount / as rw: **mount -uw /**
  * extend /var and /etc via **/conf/base/etc/md_size** and **/conf/base/var/md_size** (122880 for 60MB)
  * mount / as ro: **mount -ur /**
  * **reboot**: If you are asked to save your config, choose "No"
  * enable the FreeBSD repo and disable the local repo in **/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/myrepo.conf**
  * **pkg update**
  * for installing a package, you have to mount / writeable again: **mount -uw /**
  * now you can install your package: **pkg install <package>**
  * done!
