    1. Install FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE
    2. pkg_add
    ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/security/freebsd-update-1.3.tgz
    3. mv /usr/local/etc/freebsd-update.conf.sample
    /usr/local/etc/freebsd-update.conf
    4. /usr/local/sbin/freebsd-update fetch
    5. /usr/local/sbin/freebsd-update install

       (Ok, dumb question: Why is my pkg_message not part of the package on
    ftp.freebsd.org? It works when I `make package` locally.)
