 The proper way use these scripts manually would be to do the following:  If you do not set a MIRROR in update_openbsdrc or exported in your environment,
         get_sets  you will need to have the sets available in another way.  By default it looks
         install_kernel  for them in a "version" directory, for example if you are running OpenBSD 5.4,
         reboot  it will look for a 5.5, then a 5.4 directory relative to the current directory.

 The files in the collection are as follows:  The script will initially download the new sets if you don't have them,

         pkg_add -ui then reboot.  
   
 mergeslave  
         This is a modified version of mergeslave.  You should only use
