Hey gurus,

How'd you like to never have to answer this question ever 
again? Help me out with FULL details, just this once, and 
you won't have to ever again.

I'm writing another newbie how-to. I started out with a 
bit of help from Bruce Andersen. I went a long, writing 
the how-to as best I could while I went (so as to leave 
out no smallest detail).

But I seem to have hit a snag, or perhaps gone astray.

Kindly go visit my (under construction) how-to at this 
url...

http://om-ah-hum.com/share/gus_netbsd_too-big_pkgsrc.html

...and tell me how to get back on track. I have left a 
not in the color RED at the end of where I got stuck.

Please do be verbose, just this once, and I'll do the 
work to save you having to lower yourselves to plain 
English ever again (on this topic, anyway). 

Know that I have taken this up as my personal mission. 
Try not discourage me too much okay? It really is 
most time consuming. Should you all send me to the books 
too often with your guruishly terse "help"...well, 
then my wife will get annoyed at all the time I am 
spending on it. Should that happen too very often...well, 
I'd likely give up on writing more how-tos.

...unless, of course, you don't think that NetBSD would 
benefit with some GENUINE newbie how-tos...

Thanks,

Gan
