$NetBSD: README,v 1.2 1998/01/13 13:13:59 agc Exp $ Welcome to the NetBSD Packages System ===================================== Below this directory, you will find packages to build (compiled) programs from sources. To do so, cd into one of the sub-directories, and enter: make make install To make a precompiled binary package that can be installed on another system, enter make package after that. The precompiled package will be placed in the "packages" subdirectory. A collection of precompiled binary packages can be found on ftp.netbsd.org in /pub/NetBSD/packages. To install a precompiled binary package, hand its filename or an ftp://-URL pointing to it to pkg_add(1). See http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/netbsd/Packages.txt for more information on the packages system.
