Maybe create a distinct "manually install pkgin" landing page with enough magic/ links to guide the user to the "best" repo on our web site and point the man page to that static url? Martin

Instead of 9.0/amd64 probably something like: $(uname -r | tr -cd '[0-9.]')/$(sysctl -n hw.machine_arch) (the `tr -cd '[0-9.]'' should get rid of possible _STABLE, _BETA and similar... probably there are better way to do it, in that case please adjust it or let me know!) Thanks!
