I tried pkgsrc w/ bootstrap-pkgsrc as non-root on Solaris 9/x86 and SuSE
8.2, and it worked fine. Congratulations to all who have worked on this,
and thank you very much!
There were a few small hickups, we'll figure that out. I'll use pkgsrc to
display a portable source-based packaging system in my "Open Source"
lecture this fall term - see www.feyrer.de/OS/ for some more information
(german language, sorry!).

Below is the $MAKECONF I'm using for non-root on NetBSD, Solaris and
Linux.
