pkg_info

[T D]

I thought that might be the case, it makes sense.
Would make it easy to see what has been installed on a system after the base has been installed.
Thanks

That is because you didn't injstall any packages.

OpenBSD doesn't treat the base install as packages.  Packages only refer
to 3rd-party applications that are installed after the fact.  E.g.
mozilla-firefox, pidgin, marathon2, etc.
