I have a 3.0 snapshot cd.

I installed it (it installed fine).

I find the sysinstall program a bit too dangerous...
What I want is to see what packages are available to
install (I'm willing to do a pkg_add -p /usr/local <>).

I also don't want to execute any commands as root
(I have /usr/local chmod to 777.)

I read the handbook and faq, and it didn't say much
on how to deal with packages (unless you wanted to
write a new port...lots of information on that).
