Sorry, I should have been more forthcoming with info. It's a NetBSD 2.0
install from ISO image running on a P4 box (i386 image used). I thought
I exported the correct PKG_PATH :
# PKG_PATH="*ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/2.0/i386/All"
export PKG_PATH
but I'm still getting errors about "package not found" when I try to do
a pkg_add. I've probably mistyped something. What should the command
be for establishing the PKG_PATH?
Thanks.
