This is a question more for the freebsd-questions@.... list ratherthan freebsd-doc@..., but never mind. Yes, it is possible to install software in a jail from the host system. It's easiest to do with pkg(8) -- see the description of the '-j' flag in pkg(8). You can do this in various other ways, but it is rather more fiddly and involves setting a bunch of environment variables and so forth. Cheers, Matthew
