After installing FreeBSD, I would like to follow some simple steps to get i=
t
fully up-to-date.  The Handbook and other online instructions seem a bit
overwhelming.  I developed some instructions when I was experiementing with
5.x, and I'm not sure if the are still valid for 6.x.  Do these instruction=
s
look okay, or should I be using something else?

--------------

cd /usr/ports/editors/nano
make install clean

cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup
make all install clean

cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui
make all install clean

cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
make install clean

rehash

cd /usr/src
cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile .
cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse .

nano -w stable-supfile
  *host =3D cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
  *default release=3Dcvs tag=3DRELENG_6

  doc-all tag=3D.

cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile
