Note: I think pkg is a GREAT improvement over the old pkg_add, but the legacy documentation in the FreeBSD handbook needs to be updated. If somebody sends me either a set of files for Handbook Section 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 or idiot level instructions on how to access the files (SVN, etc.) I will edit them and submit them for comment. I can put the content in the files, but some expert may need to massage the formatting a bit.

We have a book for that:
