Thanks to both Alexander Pyhalov and you for that URL

Alexanders, your awaited iso was already there when I looked
yesterday.  Thanks

Can any of you tell me how one navigates the pkgs.  In my install
there seems to be no pkg manager.  

I'm familiar with the pkg cmdline but digging out specific stuff
without the name is a bit primitive. And time consuming.

There are some specific tools one needs to be able to build pkgs from
source ... the developer/gnu  is one.  But there are others I don't
recall the names of.

For example, I'm having a problem building an external pkg called
xbindkeys.

  checking for gawk... gawk
  checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
  checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
  checking for gcc... no
  checking for cc... no
  checking for cl.exe... no
  configure: error: in `/usr/local/src/xbindkeys-1.8.6_2':
  configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
  See `config.log' for more details


So I start mucking around for gcc and find quite a bit with 'pkg search'

What pkgs do I need to be able to do this?
