Hi,
I've installing several packages (using pkg_add) lately, and tried many more. I
generally use the pkg_add ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/(...) method, with decent success. My
problem is that I cannot always find the packages I need! For example, while
installing a package listed under

pkg_add -v mozilla
Simple as that, check out pkg_add(1)

With that said, are some packages (for lack of better words--) not supported on
certain builds? I'm running on a sparc box, 1.6.2. If you were to look at the
packages available on 1.6.2, for sparc, there are none! =(
Thanks for your time,

I believe so, yes. I tried FreeBSD-AMD64 and cvsup didn't exist for AMD64.
