I transferred the /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install directory, which includes a Makefile, but trying to "make," or, as the bsd handb ook section on stable suggests, 'make world," I get error messages like "can't open ../Makefile.inc" and "don't know how to make world." Do I need more of this directory tree? Do I need the makefile from the /usr/sr c directory? The bsd manual says to look at this Makefile; what to look for, I don't know. Michael Alwan
