Broken install on new SnowLeopard machine with MacPorts-1.9.2-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg

[Potato Soup]

Ok, tried that but now it doesn't even see what 'port' command is, it's 'not 
found'. I am new to OSX, although not quite as new to Linux. I am just not 
getting how OSX is managing these things. It is acting quite weird.
