I think I have cvsup ready to go, but I can't tell for sure since the mirror site I picked was the first one in the list for the United states. It is anoncvs.FreeBSD.org and is obviously quite popular. cvsup tried all night long to connect and never got in . The next mirror site for the US is anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org and it appears to be down. Since all I need is to update all the sources for FreeBSD6.2, is there a better choice of sites? I got these 2 site names from the FreeBSD handbook. We have been using FreeBSD here since 2001, but I have never seriously tried cvsup until now since we are installing several new servers, all using FreeBSD6.2. Thanks.
