It takes a matter of seconds to complete a cvsup run. I needed to get a new world up and running on this box so I've since just gone ahead and done an anoncvs checkout. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask John Polstra. John if you would take a look at this along with my initial email at: http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1647366+0+archive/2000/freebsd-questions/20001015.freebsd-questions and tell me what you think is going on I'd appreciate it. -- Brandon D.
