pkg_add problem

[Rick Sullivan <root2_(_at_)_telocity_(_dot_)_com>]

on your page:
http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html

This does NOT work

# setenv PKG_PATH ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.8/packages/i386/
# pkg_add ${PKG_PATH}gimp-1.1.27.tgz
          ^^^^^^^^^^^

I was doing bash-2.04.tgz, NOT gimp

This DOES

# setenv PKG_PATH ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.8/packages/i386/
# pkg_add bash-2.04.tgz


Per man pkg_add, PKG_PATH is searched by pkg_add, hence PKG_PATH does
NOT need to be in the pkg_add command line.


I use OpenBSD for firewalls, and soon bind and ftp. I REALLY appreciate
the work the OpenBSD team does.

Thanks,
