The best option if you loose your /usr/src is not to cvsup from scratch, = but=20 to install the source of your latest cd or downloaded tgz files, and then= use=20 cvsup to bring them up to date. (You can do it from scratch, but if you h= ave=20 an older copy lying around it will save you some download time so you don= t=20 have to upload ALL the files). If course if you have a T1 connection to the internet then it may actuall= y be=20 faster to just cvsup it from scratch.... *grin* Regards, Jacob Jacob Rhoden Phone: +61 3 9844 6102 ITS Division Email: jrhoden@unimelb.edu.au Melbourne University Mobile: +61 403 788 386 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
