You can just tweak /etc/make.conf a bit, setting: SUP_UPDATE= yes SUPHOST= cvsupFIXME.FreeBSD.org SUP= /usr/local/bin/cvsup SUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile DOCSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile then do "make update" in /usr/src to update everything. You can update /usr/doc and /usr/ports individually with the same command in those directories. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
