Thanks for the replies. Sorry I forgot to mention the important
information that I'm cvsupping 4.0 Stable, and I used pkg_add and
answered the questions, pretty much selecting everything. This is my
first time so I just wanted to try it, next time I will try to generate
my own cvsup file to use.

I was trying to do the make buildworld in the original compile
directory, that was messing me up. And I hadn't realized I was out of
order either.

Thanks a lot for help.
