When I use the pkg command to install a package, right before the pkg command returns me to the command line, a message is printed to the screen. The message reads as if it is a message from the port maintainer to me, informing me of the next steps I need to do, e.g., adding mumble_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf. Usually I copy and paste that message to a file until I have the application running correctly. However, this time I neglected to do so, and some information has now scrolled off into never-come-back-from land. I tried the command pkg info pkgname But that just gave me metadata on the pkg. I also looked around in the var directory for the information, but didn't find anything. So my question is: how can I view that important message from the port maintainer to me after it scrolls off the screen, is it persistent anywhere? Thanks.
