On Tue, Sep 02, 2014 at 03:51:31AM +0200 I heard the voice of Michelle Sullivan, and lo! it spake thus: > > Correct, take a 9.2 install disk, install it, portsnap and then > install pkg on it... Oh wait, you can't.. pkg_install is broken, > and 9.2 install disks don't have pkg in the BaseOS.... So what? The pkg port uses _ITSELF_ to register. The "pkg" in the base system isn't pkg, it just a bootstrap to fetch the pkg pkg (which them uses itself to register too). If you're using the pkg _PORT_, it's not even involved in the first place. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
