The package system is a great thing, but we don't seem to be
really telling anyone about it - there shoyuld probably be
a link on the homepage to a page containing a brief overview and
"download /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz
extract into /usr/src, then cd into subdirectories & type make
then make install",
plus a link to the full package documentation.
At the moment I guess most users don't even know about the package
system :(
