******SPAM****** [NMLUG] OpenBSD installed.....now what???
Congratulations on your switch, and I like the use of the SparcStation5.
the port tree is located at /usr/ports
In this directory is a list of different ports categories, go into one and
you will find packages.
To install a package cd into the package directory and type:
make clean install
Then watch it do the rest. It will tell you all the vulnerabilities and
whatnot.
If you don't have the ports tree you can get it from a download at
ftp.openbsd.org
