At the same time I followed the advice to modify the supfile in line with the example "stable-supfile" On running cvsup I received an error message < Realease not specified for collection "ports-all"> There is the following line in my supfile, taken from the example, which is: "ports-all tag=." Now I do want to cvsup all the ports. I am running freebsd 5.3. The other line (which may be relevant is: "*Default release=cvs tag-RELENG_5" Can anyone tell me if these lines are correct? Thanks David
