Dear Joseph,

I sent you this reply, but I suspect that due to technical problems you
did not recieve my response. I'll send it again.

Hello Joseph,

So you got OpenPKG compiling, good. I hope you mean that you bootstrapped it
successfully and now have a working installation. I assume you ran the
bootstrap shell script like:

  $ sh openpkg-20020312-20020312.src.sh --prefix=/cw --user=cw --group=cw

and then as root:

  # sh openpkg-20020312-20020312.<YourArchitecture&OS>.sh

If you did this, then under /cw you should see the subdirectories and files

  README  bin     etc     info    libexec man     share   web
  RPM     cgi     include lib     local   sbin    var

Tell me if you have gotten this far, because I don't know exactly what you
mean by 'the files are currently sitting there uninstalled.'

By the way, when I get stuck starting a new OpenPKG instance, I usually reach
for the quick reference which conveniently explains the above steps and a few
more in about three screenfulls. Particularly helpful are the paragraphs
'Bootstrapping OpenPKG from Scratch', 'Prepare Your Shell Environment', and
'To Install OpenPKG Packages.'

I hope this helps, and thanks for using OpenPKG.

Regards,
Michael
