Well, you can't update the systems directly via cvsup. (Yes, I know, but let's stay simple here.) What you can do is fetch/update the source tree by cvsup and then rebuild the system. > Secondly, I would like to upgrade the "ports" package data to reflect all > the appropriate changes without actually loading the tarballs.. The tarballs are *not* distributed as part of the ports collection. You can just get the ports collection with cvsup. > Also, please presume I am dirt ignorant about doing this sort of thing, the > truth is probably MUCH worse than that...

You can also find the lastest version at the FreeBSD web site. > [Alternative: text/html] And that's something you want to disable if you care to get answers. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
