I already suffered the trouble you are trying to get in to and I will help! You can use this sup file: ------------ cut here ------------------ *default tag=RELENG_2_2_2_RELEASE *default host=cvsup.nl.freebsd.org # The sources will be put in /usr/src. BE CAREFUL if you don't want to # erase your old sources! *default prefix=/usr # The directory for the status files will be in /usr/sup *default base=/usr *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix # If you don't have a very fast connection... *default compress src-all # I think that this collection is ok since Walnut Creek is exporting it # in their CDS. cvs-crypto ------------ cut here ------------------ Do not forget to get cvsup binaries from ftp://hug.freebsd.org/pub/CVSup/ The latest release is 15.0 To run it just do ./cvsup -g -L2 <supfile> in non-graphical sessions or ./cvsup <supfile> in graphical sessions. BTW, -g means no graphics support and -L2 is maximum level of verbosity. I am using a variation of this file which enables me to have a copy of the CVS tree (around 300MB) and then I can extract any version of FreeBSD. Currently I am running FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE. > > Sorry for being so dense :-/ I have only recently added FreeBSD to my list of > platforms, following up on a suggestion by a friend. > > Thanks for any pointers you can provide me with. > I hope that this is enough. And **do** read the handbook carefully. Good luck with FreeBSD.
