Here is a simple example of where improvement would be good.
I add a package the easiest way I know on a slow system.
mybox# pkg_add -r dnetc
Fetching
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/dnetc.tbz...
Done.
=> Added group "dnetc".
=> Added user "dnetc".
***************************************************************************
Note: dnetc has been installed with a sample configuration.
To change this run:
/usr/local/distributed.net/dnetc -config
***************************************************************************
So now, if I follow the instructions, I still dont have a running program.
I haven't been told I need dnetc_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, and the one
I should run to start it is in /usr/local/etc/etc/rc.d, I would never
infer that from the above if I were a novice user. Additionally, pkg_add
-r will often also give an out of date package.
