You guys have been great so far!

I'm feeling kinda stupid - I don't understand how I get (for example) a 
browser application on my system.

I downloaded pkgsrc.tar.gz (using my Apple G3 B&W) and burnt it onto a 
cd.

I mounted my cdrom (yeh!! Why does that sound like an achievement?) and 
copied it to /usr. Following the "www.netbsd.org/guide" I did:

tar -xzvpf pkgsrc.tar.gz -C /usr

and lots of things happened for a long time then stopped (note the use 
of technical terms here :-)

I just don't understand what to do next....... it says browse the 
packages with lynx but my system doesn't understand that.

Cheers,
        John
