{Just kidding, I realize that's probably not the right command.}
But to address a recent followup about such a package pleasing only a tiny
minority... why not create a simple /bin/sh shell script that is highly
interactive (possibly to the point of overdoing it)?
It could begin by offering the user to set certain environment variables to
"X"? [y/n] Then it would proceed to prompt for each pkg_add command line
to run, and if the user did not want a certain package, they'd hit 'n.'
PS: Now that got me thinking about a simple shell script to give newbies an
interactive taste of how to cvsup (cvs?), and tour of features! :)
