      I have searched for this theme, but without success.

      I have installed pfsense on the hdd and I would like to install much more software than native pfsense packages supports.

      When I naively tried commands like pkg_info pkg_add -r … portsnap cvsup ..., everything failed.

      What to do ?

      How can I turn pfsense installation to FreeBSD standard installation with full FreeBSD ports collection support and don´t lose webgui pfsense, kernel pfsense and userland pfsense like scripts and so on.

      Please help me.

        This is ablsolutely not supported but you might want to start this by using the developers edition. It has more tools and stuff that is not needed for a pure pfsense installation.

          I don´t understand, it means developers edition has pkg_info, pkg_add … cvsup portsnap commands or not ? How can I start ?

          I only need ports collection support that´s all.

              Even in 1.01 and prior versions I've been able to use pkg_add for nagios, nrpe, webmin, and squid.  What packages are you trying to add?  I realize that its not the same as installing from source but its still not bad.

                I need a quagga package and more software, actually not package but port.
                Actually, I need full integration whole of the FreeBSD Ports Collection.  :P

                  I've done this before on my pfSense box. All you should have to do is execute the following command. This will install the ports collection from the FreeBSD mirror. Then do a pkg_add -r name

                  fetch -o - "ftp://ftp1.us.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz" | tar zxf - -C /usr
