> Regarding other parts of the log: as a freebsd-user, you should have had some basic idea on getting the pkgsrc tree and unpacking it (although I don't know what permits DF developers to include it on the CD, maybe licence? Or a /usr/sbin/getpkgsrc script would probably do as well.) 
I found the how to a little non specific. I do think that a getpkgsrc 
script would help set things up. There were no man pages (maybe install 
fubar'ed?) on pkgsrc, so unlike man ports, I could not get a man pkgsrc.

I have always considered the pkgsrc way of life quite straightforward, especially because I have FreeBSD and OpenBSD experience. Could you describe your pkgsrc problems more?

I guess the problems lay in miscommunication, lack of documentation, and 
being 'new' to pkgsrc. I've only messed with ports and raw sources for 
most of my tenure with BSD.
