Subject: What's with the ports?

	I have installed 3.1-RELEASE including the ports stuff
under /usr/ports.  The tree there has pointers like:

00_TRANS.TBL@ -> /cdrom/ports/emulators/linux_lib/pkg/00_TRANS.TBL

	However, CDs 3 and 4 just have paths like /cdrom/distfiles.
"pkg_add" doesn't work.

	What am I missing?  Should I have deleted all of /usr/ports
before installing 3.1-RELEASE?
