/usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install

[Jeff MacDonald]

Fair enough, I did a complete make buildworld/installworld,
and I still cannot use my ports properly, any other suggestions ?

This is not a mission critical install, so i could just re-install
as i see a few ppl on the mailing lists have done, but i would rather
not have to do this.

Jeff.
