I don't understand why you think "newbies" can't install packages except in sysinstall. Why not put a pointer to pkg_manage in the default /etc/motd, or something like that? Pkg_manage even *looks* like sysinstall.
I believe 2.1.0-R was the last release to ship with pkg_manage. I seem to recall Jordan ripping it out and issuing a famous rant on how much he hates the entire package management/sysinstall system in it's current incarnation.
Ha! I thought it was *new*, because I have it on my 3.0-current system but not my 2.2-stable system . . . but the 3.0 system was originally a 2.1.5 system, so pkg_manage must still be lying around from then.
Sorry to introduce this pkg_manage red herring into the discussion . . .
