(I use cvsup.se.freebsd.se for example). This the essential lines of mine: *default host=cvsup.se.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_3 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all Having done that, and assuming you got X running: # cvsup /usr/share/examples/stable-supfile will get a window up. Click start or whatever and it should start pumping new src into the veins of your machine. (I also misunderstood user ncvs and $CVSROOT for a start) ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 3.4 ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
