One > further thing - about your cvsup target: cvsup.FreeBSD.org. > Is this where I could ensure getting the latest ports tree from? not at all. it was just the easiest place to tell you to cvsup from. do you normally cvsup from /usr/share/examples/cvsup? if so, you should consider copying the supfile elsewhere and editing it, otherwise when you installworld you'll overwrite the changes you've made. -Adam -- "Oh good, my dog found the chainsaw." -Lilo, "Lilo & Stitch" Adam Weinberger adam@vectors.cx http://vectors.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
