While doing so, I unfortunately rushed ahead and installed several packages I knew I needed using the "pkg install" command, but I neglected to look carefully at all of the helpful post-install messages for each package. Most of these post-install messages appear to be merely informative, however some of these appear to be REALLY critical, e.g. the ones you get after "pkg install bash". Is there a way for me to go back now and see again all of the post-install messages for all of the packages that I have already installed, so that I can make sure that I've done everything that should be done to properly install all these? I am hoping that there is some way for me to see all these messages again *without* having to force re-install all of the relevant packages.
