Where can i find it ??. You need to keep -current with the FreeBSD Documentation. Hopefully, the documentation at is sufficient (that's the "Synchronising source trees over the Internet" section). I recommend CVSup, and if you decide to use it you'll want a supfile that looks something like *default host=cvsup.freebsd.org *default prefix=/usr/local/cvs-reps/FreeBSD *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all doc-all Be aware: That will download the CVS repositories for all the source and all the documentation. That's about 700MB of data on your disk. If you just want to get the documentation CVS repository, and just get the latest source code you want to change the last two lines to something like src-all tag=. prefix=/usr doc-all > Another thing... what does Attic mean ??. It's where CVS puts files that have been removed. When you remove a file using CVS it's removed from your directory. However, CVS needs to keep track of the file somewhere, since you might (at a later point in time) checkout a version of the code prior to your removal of that file. So CVS moves the file to a directory called "Attic". Hope that makes sense.
