Hi Jonathan, aside the case sensitive/insensitive issue, i found
regardless a good idea to keep pkgsrc
separate from the hosting system in a disk image.
This could give some freedom into putting for example pkgsrc on a
separate hard drive and have it with you
easily in case you had to use it on another people's macintosh.
