Hello!

I'm new to the list, and heard this was a good resource of 
information.
I been using FreeBSD for a little over a year and recently decided 
to try nBSD for my FTP server.

Everything so far has went well, or at least to the point I could fix it 
and understand what was going on.  But the problem I have 
encountered that I can't figure out is with the ports/packages 
collection.  When I get the pkgsrc.tar.gz, I decompress it into the 
/usr directory then go to what I would like to compile and add, for 
instance I been trying to get bash2 compiled and added as well as a 
few other programs.  But every one I try fails with the error relating 
to the PLIST in the directory; saying "Error: don't know how to make 
PLIST"

Could someone help me out and tell me what I might or might not be 
doing?  Or is there something I might be missing?

Thankx!
Brady
