hm, I was trying to simply install binary packages, but another
look at the ftp site, and it seems that I must've grabbed src
packages, instead.

Quite frankly, at this point, I'm not sure. It would be simple to 
rebuild everything, I think. The boxes are net-booting; just have
to get the linux server to cooperate on nfs, and I do have an 
external drive that will at least boot the boxes...

Should I simply get the source for pkg_install and rebuild? If so,
could you point me at a url?

I know it sounds like a silly question, but I've wandered all over the
web and ftp sites, and am still a bit overwhelmed by the amount of stuff,
and the relationships between the various directories. Part of the 
confusion has to do with the various releases - I have another Ultra1
that came up, but w/a scrogged prom. I'm still trying to straighten
that out - mkpl didn't work - but I noticed it was mentioned that the
newer releases might be less prone to this problem...

thanx again,
...dave
