Really apppreciate it. As it turned out - the makeworld took 5.5 hours. everythign went fine, except right at the end - MAKEDEV all has either not built a suitable keyboard driver, or mergemaster was not done properly. Now I have no keyboard, but do have a mouse pointer of sorts. Pressing keys interfers with the mouse activity - but can't type so can't access the system. So might start from scratch now I know what happens.... I know about the date/time thing. y2k in the ELM I'm using on the original server. cheers Robert > > Robert Chalmers wrote: > > > > I'm just wondering, being a first time user of cvsup, if every > time it's run > > it replaces or updates all the files, and downloads all the > files every time? > > Read the web pages on cvsup, they're very informative > (http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/howsofast.html) but the > upshot is that it does not replace everything all the time.
