This is very good advice, and using cvsup regularly to pull down the updates to your copy of the system sources will not unduely tax a 56k modem connection. Ditto for the ports tree. However when using cvsup(1) to "take over" a collection of sources obtained elsewhere (ie. copied from the installation media) you should be aware of these very useful one-time procedures: http://www.cvsup.org/faq.html#adopt http://www.cvsup.org/faq.html#adoptupgrade Although, obviously you will need to substitute 'RELENG_4_10' or 'RELENG_4_9_0_RELEASE' at appropriate points.
