You can download and install binary packages using pkg_add - just set PKG_P=
ATH to a path or URL where packages can be found.

(assuming a csh-like shell)
setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
cvs login
( use 'anoncvs' as password )
and then from /usr
cvs checkout pkgsrc
and have a cup of tea. Or two. Probably three, depending on your internet c=
onnectivity, downloading pkgsrc will take some time.

After that put something to set CVSROOT into your shell startup script ( .p=
rofile, .cshrc, whatever you're using ), add /usr/pkg/bin to your path and =
you're ready to go. You only need to do the login part once. To update pkgs=
rc just do
cd /usr/pkgsrc
cvs update -dPA

It probably doesn't know where to get packages.

btw. do NOT mix up binary packages and stuff compiled with pkgsrc. unset PK=
G_PATH when using pkgsrc or weird things may happen.

have fun
Michael
