RE: pkg_add and ls not working

[jmitchel%bigjar.com@localhost]

pkg_add uses the shell variable PKG_PATH. I believe this is set by default
for new installs, but maybe it isn't installed when you upgrade. Anyway,
it should look something like this:

Letterman$HOSTNAME:${PWD}$ set

...

PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/6.0_BETA_2012Q1/All

...

To set it, use this command:

export
PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/6.0_BETA_2012Q1/All;

There are three different sets of packages for 6.0 Beta, but I think this
is the one that is configured for new installs of 6.0 Beta.
