Sorry, I should have been more forthcoming with info.  It's a NetBSD 2.0 
install from ISO image running on a P4 box (i386 image used).  I thought 
I exported the correct PKG_PATH :

# PKG_PATH="*ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/2.0/i386/All" 
export PKG_PATH

but I'm still getting errors about "package not found" when I try to do 
a pkg_add.  I've probably mistyped something.  What should the command 
be for establishing the PKG_PATH?

Thanks.
