The box resides in a internet-connected network. I've read the manual and consulted a few other resource sites, but they (as I understood them) don't really address how to do what I want to do. And had no luck at all searching the mailing list archives. I think I understand how to CVsup source and the tree, and then makeworld, but nothing I have read deals with updating only the ports tree. I do not want to go the makeworld route every 3 or 4 months. I'd prefer to do that on a as needed basis at much longer intervals. -- Best regards, Kevin mailto:keving@whackstar.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
