Hi - The easiest way to add the cvs client to your system is to add the non-gui package: pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui Which will add the following package: cvsup-without-gui-16.1f General network file distribution system optimized for CVS Building cvs from ports puts * ALLOT * of things on your system. From the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cvsup.html): The easiest way to install *CVSup* is to use the precompiled net/cvsup <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/net/cvsup/pkg-descr>; package from the FreeBSD packages collection <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports.html>. If you prefer to build *CVSup* from source, you can use the net/cvsup <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/net/cvsup/pkg-descr>; port instead. But be forewarned: the net/cvsup <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/net/cvsup/pkg-descr>; port depends on the Modula-3 system, which takes a substantial amount of time and disk space to download and build. *Note:* If you are going to be using *CVSup* on a machine which will not have *XFree86* installed, such as a server, be sure to use the port which does not include the *CVSup* GUI, net/cvsup-without-gui <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/net/cvsup-without-gui/pkg-descr>. If you do not know anything about *CVSup* at all and want a single package which will install it, set up the configuration file and start the transfer via a pointy-clicky type of interface, then get the cvsupit <ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/cvsupit.tgz>; package. Just hand it to pkg_add(1) <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg_add&sektion=1>; and it will lead you through the configuration process in a menu-oriented fashion. Post if you continue to have issues. Brian Martin McCormick wrote: > I installed cvsup and got a full build of X windows. I >don't want X windows on this system.
