I received permission to install a *nix at work. I installed FreeBSD 6.2; but I am unable to cvsup successfully. I've tried the various modes. I've even tried nesting it in a Python script that tries to get authorization through a proxy -- it didn't help, but was worth a try. I really, really, really want to get past the xorg 7* issue before I have a lot of applications installed. If a computer at home is up-to-date, can I: 1. Delete /usr/src/*, /usr/ports/* and /usr/doc/* from the work computer; and 2. copy the /usr/src/*, /usr/ports/* and /usr/doc/* from the home computer? Is it as simple as that? Thanks, Andrew
