Good day, I have a workstation at office but I can only access the internet through our proxy server. Someone in this list have the same situation which was told to use CTM. I'm currently using 5.3RC1 and would want to keep in sync with the latest sources of 5.3 and recompile my system. I already have the sources and just want to update it. Upon reading the instructions I went to ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CTM and found these directories: cvs-cur ports-cur src3-cur src4-cur src5-cur src-cur Here are what confuses me: 1. First, if I choose to enter the src5-cur directory above, which file would I pick, the last/latest one dated NOV 1? 2. What are those gzipped files and why are those older files still exists? 3. Another thing is I can't really understand how the CTM process works. Mind if you give me some brief insight on how I will be able to get the latest sources? I'm thinking perhaps its like the bittorrent system wherein the torrent file contains the information where to get the files. How about the CTM? Thanks a lot for your time and have a nice day! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo! Front Page. www.yahoo.com
