Hi, all. I'm new to FreeBSD. I'm setting up a machine to act as a webserver using: FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p12-jc2 (jail18) #0 Tonight I added the package: cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_2 and ran: # cvsup -g -L 2 /root/cvs-supfile After it ran (which took over an hour), I realized I used the "cvs-supfile" and not the "ports-supfile." I only wanted to update the ports tree, and not download the entire CVS repository. How do I prune this back to a manageable size? I'm going to be using this machine (it's a VPS) as a webserver only. Many thanks for any assistance you can offer! Here's the relevant parts of the supfile: *default host=cvsup9.us.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all ports-base ports-archivers ports-benchmarks ports-comms ports-converters ports-databases ports-devel ports-dns ports-editors ports-ftp ports-java ports-lang ports-mail ports-misc ports-net ports-net-mgmt ports-security ports-shells ports-sysutils ports-textproc ports-www cvsroot-all
