[Beginner] Things to do after a successful installation
Hi, I'm a newbie in NetBSD though I know to use GNU/Linux well enough.
After the basics installation I logged in as "root" and I would like to install some basics interface to navigate and obtain wiki resource to learn about BSD systems. I've tried to install vim with Code:
pkg_add ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/5.0.2_2010Q1/All/vim-7.2.411.tgz The network interface is working cause I obtain replies from google. Can someone guide me in the after-installation setups?? Or address me some compact wiki/tutorial in use pkg_src tools?? Thanks in advance |

I'm not a NetBSD user, so don't rely on what I say.
Try pinging the FTP server. And use the -v (verbose) pkg_add(1) option. You probably should keep the guide handy.

1st thing, you should create user account and add it to wheel and operator group.
Login into user account with Code:
su Don't install apps into root account. I'm sure you know all above... |

Thanks!!!
I'll do all the attempts (and failures) on virtualbox as soon as possible before planning a real installation on a physical machine. Bye |

From last time I installed a NetBSD (version 5.0 IIRC) I remember that with NetBSD you need to download all the packages manually with the ftp command and then install them with pkg_add (OpenBSD uses the "-r" parameter to fetch packages off the mirrors).

What I did after install...
chmod +w .profile then uncomment the PKG_PATH variable and change the first ftp to http |
