In the past, I've worked off a manual list, but as I've added a few things over time I'm wondering if it's possible to generate such a list from the pkg output. In the past I've used portmaster to get at top-level packages but I'm trying to avoid portmaster and stick with pkg. Any ideas for how to generate a list of packages installed deliberately and in sequence? Thanks, Gary
