Don’t be alarmed—the live version of NetBSD comes with a very bare-bones setup. To install `curl`, you’ll first need to add `pkgin` ( #netBSD 's equivalent of `apt`) by downloading the package directly.
pkg_add https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/x86_64/11.0_2026Q3/All/pkgin-26.4.0.tgz
is your friend.
So, bring a bit of patience along!

@pflegende@mastodon.social @felichsdakatze@mastodon.social There's an option during the installer to enable it (the option to enable binary packages at one of the later screens). Saves typing.
