The new "pkg" is not part of the base in 9.1 and there is no ftp packages for 9.1 and the disc1.iso media I installed from has no packages. I'm fubarbed Now I just had a port I maintain committed yesterday and I have no way to test it to verify the port is working. And doing a portsnap which may not contain my updated port for a few days if ever until all the other problem are addressed. This 9.1 release was released prematurely. It has more problems them 5.0 had which had a re-release 2 weeks later to fix problems. This is BAD public relations for FreeBSD.
