My guess is that you : are something like 80-85% through. : : Too bad it came to crashing halt at spppcontrol.c less than an hour later. Seems my cvsup source might be corrupt (see other thread). This may have been because I am now running cvsup in cron and it ran twice during make world. It was suggested I refresh cvsup or delete the source tree and cvsup from scratch. Now that I gave it some thought I cant see why I should cron cvsup daily...it now is set to run monthly on all boxes that have enough space. I probably wont make world much anyhow.
