Packages can be added by:

    pkg_add -r bash

This fetches them from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/alpha/packages-4-current/All/

Alternately, run /stand/sysinstall, go into options and change the
release name from the snapshot name to "4.0-CURRENT".  Then you should be
able to go into "post install configuration" and install packages from
there.


X can be gotten from ftp://relay.nuxi.com/pub/FreeBSD/Alpha/.  This is a
tarball of a fresh install & it's assoicated /var/db/pkg/ files.  To use
these tarballs:

    tar -xvpzf XFree86-3.3.5.tgz -C /usr
    tar -xvpzf XFree86-3.3.5.db.tgz -C /var/db/pkg
