Hello list.

I am interested in updating my primary FreeBSD box (Alpha) to
version 4.5. I am wondering if someone can point
out which files I need to get. I have used cvs with the following
script. However, I have never updated the entire system, and I am
not sure I am doing so correctly. This scipt has worked fine from
`cd /root; cvsup -L 2 stable-supfile`.

Contents of /root/stable-supfile
	*default host=cvsup8.FreeBSD.org
	*default base=/usr
	*default prefix=/usr
	*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4
	*default delete use-rel-suffix
	*default compress
	src-all

I am not an expert at using CVSup, and have used it (successfully) about
twice to update ports. But never to update a system. Do I need to get
4.5-release first? What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance for you help and suggestions.
