.... is there a way to get pkg to list all available packages for 
installation ? 'yum -y list available' works nicely under RH linux 
distros .... Also, I type in 'pkg info' & all I get back is 'pkg-1.3.3 
Package manager' .... I expected a list of all packages installed so far 
(just the base install for me at the moment) ....
