Beyond what others have said about the 'freeze', it may be advisable that you use fastest_cvsup (pkg_add -r fastest_cvsup) to see what the fastest/best available cvs server is if you usually only use one or two. eg: # fastest_cvsup -c ca,us ..gives me the most responsive in Canada and U.S. respectively. I quickly then dump the server into the supfile I'm using and let it run. Steve
