I went to /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install and tried to make it but it didn't work. I also discovered there's no /var/db/pkg/ directory on the machine, so pkg_info wouldn't help in this case. Curious. I wonder how he did that? And why? -- Roger If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't your thing.
