Build cvsup through the ports. After it's built, you'll find the supfiles in: /usr/share/examples/cvsup Editing the supfile is pretty self-explanatory, I use cvsup5.freebsd.org for the host. So to sync your ports: cd /usr/share/examples/cvsup cvsup ports-supfile If you're behind a firewall you might need the '-P -' switch for cvsup. Updating the OS is trickier. The cvsup part is similar, it will just update your sources. For the actual build, I would start with the FreeBSD handbook on http://www.freebsd.org/handbook and look at the section entitled: Advanced Topics. Once your ready to pull-the-pin on 'making world', you might want to ask some more specific questions on the list in that regard.
