NetBSD

Yeah... I kept adding/editing previous post.
Even though OpenBSD and NetBSD have a simular
packages system. the OpenBSD one is much
friendlier, and installing software worked
like a charm. On NetBSD however, it's a pain
in the ass...

Like I mentioned, just setting the PKG_PATH
is enough to get both working, but the tools
pkg_mgr vs pkg_select, a huge difference.
First is seemed pkg_select *required* a local
copy of the packages database (which is supposed
to be updated through CVS). After some research
it seems this is not required, but in FTP mode
it's slow as thick shit.

There appear some meta-packages available in
the NetBSD repository, but trying to install
them results in an error message regarding the
file format being invalid. Really... this
does not make a good impression, I'm sorry.

And the thing I've mentioned already in 2008.
DUting package installation, it outputs a list
of files it writes, but also some messages
regarding some settings that should be adjusted
manually.... and it just scrolls away as the
next package installs.... this is still not
changed.... kinda annoying, isn't it?

Well... finally it appears to be installing
something... using the *manually downloaded*
bootstrap for the pkgsrc system, which worked
"out-of-the-box" for OpenBSD, and I still don't
know how to do a search for a package that works
on this OS.
