I just started reading about the cvsup process. In the past I've alwyas done a fresh reload from CD or the network. What is the difference between using CVS to upgrade to a newer version rather than the upgrade option in /stand/sysinstall? I"m guessing the later simply gives you the binaries and CVS gives you the source to compile..but I'd like to confirm this. I've got about 350 megs left on my 3.0 RELEASE drive and doubt getting the source is the way to go. Thanks for the help!
