I'm attempting to learn how to use CVSup to update my system, including
source and ports.  When I installed BSD on the test system I'm playing with,
I installed no source and no ports at the time.

Here's my supfile:

*default host=cvsup8.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs
*default deltee use-rel-suffix
*default tag=RELEN_4_6_1_RELEASE
src-all
*default tag=.
ports-all
doc-all

First question I have (DUMB question): What version do I want to download?
I think I understand the difference between STABLE and CURRENT, but I'm
unsure of their relationship to RELEASE version tags.  If the following tags
are the only ones available:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html

then how would you update to the latest STABLE?  Or would I want to?

Second, is there a simple means of constructing a refuse file which will not
download non-English versions of anything?

Jim
