I'm have some confusion on the best method to check out (or copy the sources locally) of the entire doc tree. Can I just check them out from the FreeBSD servers directly, if so, is there documentation I could be pointed to that will get me started with the correct server name, repository name etc? or; Can I just mirror the doc tree locally? I've tried this with cvsup to no avail. From the info I've gathered, I've concaucted the following supfile: #*default tag=RELENG_4 *default host=cvsup-master.FreeBSD.org *default release=cvs *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/home/steve/doc *default delete use-rel-suffix *default umask=002 cvsroot-doc ...with the following result (after successfully connecting to the server): Authentication required, but could not open "/home/steve/.cvsup/auth" Any information on how I can get a copy of the source so I can begin the process of attempting my own contribs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any leads to howto's, advice etc. Steve
