I did a memstick install and cliked on the internet install in my laptop
(lenovo T520). The ports directory did not install. I read the ports manpage to
fix and install the ports. After entering the command with git, while in my
home directory, the screen printed the progress, but I could not find
/usr/ports. Only after I changed directory to /usr (and the manpage failed to
indicate this move) and issued the same command, was ports installed.
