The pkg-get package linked to in the HOWTO has a typo in the default
pkg-get.conf file.  There is a space after the "=" in the secondary
mirror, so when you uncomment this line, it produces a warning that
happily scrolls off of the screen

# secondary US mirror
#url= http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/blastwave/unstable

should be

# secondary US mirror
#url=http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/blastwave/unstable

On a related note, should the default be unstable, or stable?
