Yes. You've got it. Just a nit: pkg_add uses PKG_PATH which is an environment variable. .profile is just a convenient place for you to set that environment variable on every log in. pkg_add doesn't know about .profile. You should really get into the habit of using sudo! root is a single point of failure, you should touch it as little as possible, only use it to save your system when things break. -Nick _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
