Can't do that anymore as a) our sysadmins have gone home and I don't
have root on production systems and b) it would give us a whole list
of installed CSW packages, as we went on to install quite a bit after
copying the config to etc.

What we told the sysadmins to do was literally the following:

1) pkgadd -d pkg_get.pkg
2) vi /opt/csw/etc/pkg-get.conf
(to change the mirror url to url=http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/csw/stable)
3) /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -U

This worked fine on the first server, but on the other three pkg-get
-U first complained about a missing config file... The file was most
definitely not missing.

All I can do now is post-mortems. I can not go back an do it all over
again. I am just left with the mistery...
