(BI used cvsup, and I think I used the tag RELENG_5 to get the most
(Brecent
(Bstable at that point. The steps for buildworld were straightforward,
(Bthough I had plenty of time to do other things while waiting. I used
(Bportupgrade, which is linked somewhere in those pages, to bring the
(Bports up to the current kernel and userland after that also took a
(Bfair
(Bamount of time. (Days, in fact.)
(B
(BAnd I did have to read those pages and several others they reference
(Bseveral times while I was following the instructions to get a good
(Bidea
(Bof what was happening.
(B
(BBeyond that, I don't know what to tell you.

(B
(BYou really confused me now.
(BAre you saying ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/ is
(Ba CVS server????
(B
(BI think you are still talking about the normal cvsup source update
(Bmethod which targets a bunch of different cvsup servers.
(B
(B
(Bftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/pub/FreeBSD/i386/
(Bdoes not look like an cvs server.
(B
(BHave you ever used this snapshots ftp site before????
