hiyah.  I'm running 4.1 release.  before I did
anything else I added the package to upgrade from 4.1
to stable, as per the handbook.  Then I updated the
ports tree via a cvsup--using the generic cvsupfile
that came with cvsupit.

So then I tried to install a port, and I got the
following:  
"error -- your port uses an old layout."  Then I was
directed to a faq to ask for the correct file to
cvsup.  I did this.  I think.  But I must have not
done this correctly, because after running a cvsup
again, I still get the same error message when I try
to make something.

Help!  What am I doing wrong?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!
