+Please read the general README file as well.
+
+Care should be taken so that the tools that this kit installs do not conflict
+with the OpenBSD userland tools. There are several steps:
+
+1. OpenBSD stores its ports pkg database in /var/db/pkg. It is therefore
+recommended that you choose a different location (e.g. /usr/pkgdb) by
+using the --pkgdbdir option to the bootstrap script.
+
+2. If you do not intend to use the OpenBSD ports tools, it's probably a
+good idea to move them out of the way to avoid confusion, e.g.:
+ cd /usr/sbin
+ mv pkg_add pkg_add.orig
+ mv pkg_create pkg_create.orig
+ mv pkg_delete pkg_delete.orig
+ mv pkg_info pkg_info.orig
+
+3. An example /etc/mk.conf file will be placed in mk.conf.example file
+when you use the bootstrap script. OpenBSD's make program uses /etc/mk.conf
+as well. You can work around this by enclosing all the pkgsrc specific parts
+of the mk.conf file with:
+
+.ifdef BSD_PKG_MK
+# Pkgsrc stuff, e.g. insert mk.conf.example or similar here
+.else
+# OpenBSD stuff
+.endif
+
+bootstrap-pkgsrc has been tested on OpenBSD 3.2 (i386). Some testing has
+been done on 3.0 as well.
