Look for INDEX_JOBS and PRISTINE if you don't what parallel jobs. You could also use ``-s'' flag for cvsup which will greatly reduce the IO and speed up cvsup process. But run it from time to time without it, so that you can be sure you have all the files in sync. -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD "user"
