I'm referring to 2 resources (The Complete FreeBSD - 4th edition, and www,freebsd.org manual for cvsup). BTW, I currently have FreeBSD 4.8 installed. Ok, so, I know I need to edit a supfile and I have found all the examples. But it seems to me that it is advisable to put my own edited supfile in a particular directory. What is the best or more common practice? Maybe in the base directory: i.e., /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ ? Note that I will not be using the gui. I have not installed X windows (XFree86) as this is to be a server and I no intention of using any gui interface.
