Cool, I didn't know that. Then, in the event that someone installed via an ISO or some pre-defined VM (ie. a DigitalOcean droplets) -- how about a one-time script upon first root login to ask for such info? You do not have a `PKG_PATH` set for `pkg_add`. Would you like us to set it for you? (Y/n) y Choose your nearest mirror: 1. Continent 2. Whatever 3. ... There is currently no ports collection in `/usr/ports`. Would you like us to get it for you? (Y/n) Thanks! O.D.
