Using cvsup is the way to go for getting the latest ports. I believe that you can use cvsup without installing the ports collection from cd. I would suggest configuring the ports-supfile and running cvsup (cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile). You should also update your base with cvsup and make buildworld as described in the handbook. --Nick _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
