/stand/sysinstall will installed precompiled packages based on the RELEASE version of the /usr/ports, which shouldn't change after the release. cvsup will update your /usr/ports area with all the changes that have been made on the STABLE (since you are running FreeBSD 4.5). This should give you a updated /usr/ports area which is in sync with the STABLE tree. Randy Philipp On Wed, 3 Apr 2002, Clint Olsen wrote: > Ok, I need a cluepon.
