Suggested improvements for first-install steps #9

Description

@truist
# unchanged from usual docs
pkg_add pkgin pkg_comp-cron
echo 'file:///var/pkg_comp/packages/All' >>/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf
pkgin update

# simple new way to install all the requested packages
pkgin import /var/pkg_comp/list.txt

(pkgin import seems to obey the grep -v '^#' rule, too.)

And I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but maybe if repositories.conf had the local path as the only source, pkgin would even complain about missing packages (i.e. before trying to install them)!
