I wanted to give a quick whirl to pkgng on a test machine that I am setting up,
but got a little bit puzzled about how to actually use it :-)
That is, after some googling I know what its goals are, what its features are,
where to get a snapshot and some such.  But I really couldn't find how to get
started with it and how to use it for basic day-to-day needs.  Maybe I just
didn't look hard enough.

Any help, hints and pointers will be appreciated!
Thanks!
