Pulling down an entire tree into a virgin directory is not efficient use of cvsup. Not even a little. While it _can_ be done (as you've demonstrated) if you're looking for performance, pull down a tarball, unpack it, then run cvsup to update it, and I bet it will be considerably faster. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
