really?  that's kinda weird.  i think doing a pkg_info will tell you
what's currently installed, tho.

i believe the have to have the binary already on your machine to do
that...is it there?

in general, i'd point you to the FAQ (http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/mac68k/faq/)
but i know these aren't in there.  there is a document that fully
describes the package system available on www.netbsd.org, tho.  as for the
'su' problems, you need to be a little more specific:  how is 'su' broken?
what are you expecting it to do that it isn't?

later.
