I don't know about your 2nd CD and I haven't used "cvs", but it's much more common to use "cvsup". You'll need to read about that in the handbook, etc, and check out the files in /usr/sup and maybe /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ too. Takes a while to figure out, natch. You probably ought to create a "refuse" file too to avoid DLing all the non-English stuff, at least. You'll probably copy /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile to /usr/sup and edit to your liking. I use something like: *default host=cvsup8.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default tag=RELENG_4 *default release=cvs *default delete *default use-rel-suffix #ports-all tag=. #doc-all tag=. #www tag=. src-all I (un)comment some of the last four lines as desired before doing "cvsup /usr/doc/stable-supfile" and hitting the little go icon, but if you're not running X, include options "-g -L 2". You might as well get "ports-all" too. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
