No, you need to do two things: 1) copy /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile somewhere, and edit it to fetch the right version of the sources from the right server. If you want to get exactly the version you have installed, you only need to change the server. Look for the line starting with "*default host=" and find a host near you from this page: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/cvsup.html 2) run "csup your-supfile" - this will fetch kernel and base system sources (note that utilities like "ls", "top", "sendmail" etc. are not ports in FreeBSD; also note that the cvsup client integrated into the base system in all recent versions of FreeBSD is "csup" not "cvsup". > How do I apply this new code? Read here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html and here:http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/makeworld.html In short: # cd /usr/src # make buildworld && make kernel && make installworld && mergemaster -U && reboot [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFI048FldnAQVacBcgRAkV4AJ9HJ36yDRJhyfp0wZd/FUcRCPThcwCgo7ph OcSHUZy/h3Gi7Xr27QotybQ= =0KlC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
