This next line can be done a whole bunch of different ways, but it's the most general, but I have crafted this for my own system, which is a amd64, so it points there. If you don't see this, and change this to point to your own system's architecture, yu're on your own if you mess things up: env PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-current/All/ /usr/sbin/pkg_add -f -r ${PKG_TARGET} > There is something else i need to do? or where i can change the >default URL?
