Snip A few things - If you are using CURRENT (anything) you have posted to the wrong list - try FreeBSD-CURRENT. If your a newb (as you seem to be), you should be using either 5.4-RELEASE or 4.11-RELEASE If you want to use the patch branch of 5.4, your cvs tag will be: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_4 If you want the 4.11 patch branch: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_11 I have been using FreeBSD since 2.2.8 - and only recently have I felt comfy enough to use CURRENT. For you - admirable, yes - foolish, you betcha. Stick to something solid until you know what you're doing... -- Best regards, Chris 1) You can't win 2) You can't break even 3) You can't even quit the game
