I tried to install the xkobo-1.3 package, and wanted to see
what actions it would do first before actually installing it.
So, I used `pkg_add -n` and expected to see a "make -n" like
stream of commands to move/copy files around, mkdir, etc.
Instead all I got was a free-space check in /tmp. Is there
something I'm missing? Like, time-stamps preclude accurate
assesment of what actions are needed? Did I not RTFM right?
If it matters:
chrome 2470 % uname -a
FreeBSD chrome.onramp.net 2.0.5-950622-SNAP FreeBSD 2.0.5-950622-SNAP #0:
Thu Jun 22 04:15:25 1995 root@westhill.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile
/GENERIC i386
OK, just how dumb am I? :-)
Oh, and, xkobo takes a bad system call. Rats. These are important
applications to get running too...
Thanks,
jdl
