Replace xx with your two letter country code. Of if you have no luck with your country, try a neighbour. 2. If you don't have csup installed then you can install it from ports first: # cd /usr/ports/net/csup && make install 3. Installing and learning portaudit and portupgrade (from ports) is also a good idea. > Regards, > Suhail.
