A few notes on the pkgsrc configuration...
1. It doesn't install from the ISO like FBSD, you have to go and download the tarball...
2. I found it helpful to change the "LOCALBASE?=" line in the /usr/pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk file to "/usr/local/". This will put your binaries and other stuff in there with /usr/local/ as your prefix...default is /usr/pkg or something like that...being used to fbsd, I found the default to be annoying as hell.
3. When installing things that put in an rc script, say something like nessus. You may need to copy the script to /etc/rc.d from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and edit your rc.conf to make it work...pretty simple...ie: for nessus "nessusd=YES" you get the idea.
If anyone wants to post a how to on updating your installed packages...i thank you in advance...
