Hi,
   
I setup the stuff, tried bootstrap-pkgsrc and got confused, here's result
of make install for normal pksrc: 
  
===> Installing for pkg_install-20030423
===> Becoming root@otaku to install pkg_install-20030423. 
sh cd lib && make
`libinstall.a' is up to date.
cd add && make
cd admin && make
cd create && make
cd delete && make
cd info && make
/bin/mkdir -p /usr/sbin
cd add && make install
/usr/bin/install -c -o poff -g arpa pkg_add /usr/sbin
install: /usr/sbin/pkg_add: open: Permission denied
*** Error code 1

How can I change the sbin path to my ~/pkg/sbin path?

Thanks a lot for the help,

P
