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?
