I can't use the cvsup method of updating my ports collection because I'm behind a proxy server and no matter what I try (like putting HTTP_PROXY = my.proxy in my environment as superuser and rerunning cvsup), my system can't seem to connect..... Is there another way of obtaining the same? In the handbook, you could use /stand/sysinstall. But if I do that, what files under /usr/ports do I have to backup (like /usr/ports/distfile for instance..) Will that work? If I just use /stand/sysinstall to copy the whole ports collection again (I then use the http proxy as installation medium...) Brgds Dino __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
