Up to date cvsup servers will reject your attempt to connect with an old cvsup. You can get a version of cvsup to install with pkg_add appropriate for your version of FreeBSD from: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~jdp/s1g/ It's a good idea to send mail to majordomo@freebsd.org with the subscribe freebsd-announce message so you get announcements about critical stuff like this (and important security issues as well). Annelise Thanks, Annelise I've been studying cvs for some time and been afraid to even try it. Now, for all you following the thread, Annelise dropped a tip to us, and it finished the open circle that was my unsurety and lack of understanding with cvs. Read all you can, even if it's not totally pertinent to what you are looking for. It wasn't a direct tip to what I was pesonally unsure of, but i used tips and hints throughout this thread, combined with dogged research on the web, and I got it. I put it together. This is what makes FreeBSD & the FreeBSD community so cool. Learn to learn and share with others. It's what it's all about. It's so cool to get a killer upgrade and BillG makes no money on it :^) ...plus these upgrades really work Denny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
