The file list is in the +CONTENTS file, or you can run 'pkg_info -L
$PKGNAME' to get it.
thanks I missed that with "head +* | less" finding dependencies when expecting a file listing.
pkg_info -L and -n is what I want.
Personally, with disk space being cheap, I would install the required
packages the standard way, I think that will avoid some pitfalls (like
the effects of INSTALL files for fonts, desktop files, (La)TeX, rc.d
scripts, config file...).
noted, I guess I was over optimistic these scripts were done at packaging time.
need for hardlinks in another thread...
