Johan,
1. DON'T TOP POST, follow Netiquette (and trim what you quote).
2. WRAP your lines, this is a traditional Unix based list -- lines less
than 79 characters long, thank you very much
3. Thank you for starting the monthly bikeshed. If you don't know how
much a bikeshed this is (or even what a 'bikeshed' is), go read the
archives.
3. Sounds like you want Linux with its RPM's, not BSD. We consciously
don't wrap the base system in pkg_add tarballs. We generally LIKE the
entire system being a single integrated blob.
