      I saw a file in www.pfsense.com/packages with the following contents

      Package installation process for pfSense

      Client downloads pkg_config.xml
      |
      |
      Client parses pkg_config.xml and generates a interface
      of installable packages |
      |
      |
      User selects a package to install
      |
      |
      pkg_mgr.php downloads package master configuration files
      |
      |
      pkg_mgr.php downloads master package and installs.  pkg_add -r
      takes care of downloading and installing all dependencies
      |
      |
      pkg_mgr.php downloads "extra" files that are required such
      as customized helper scripts, etc.
      |
      |
      pkg_mgr.php interates through the menu section installing
      needed menu items.  |
      |
      Package and supporting items are now installed.  The package
      will be listed in "Installed Packages"

      I saw the file pkg_config.xml there….. Downloaded it .... Then how to proceed ? Client Parse the file ... how ?

      Any kind of help is welcome.... Plz.

        Packages are not supported on embeddeds. Search the forum. This has been discussed in detail already.
