Send mail to "majordomo@freebsd.org" with the text "subscribe ctm-src-cur" in the body of your message. This will subscribe you to the mailing list which provides the CTM deltas for FreeBSD current. Majordomo will send you a reply saying how to unsubscribe yourself. Dont lose this message unless you already know how to unsubscribe. Note you will also need the last base delta for CURRENT which you can download from: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CTM/src-cur/ You can also send a message with "lists" in the body of the message to see what mailing lists are available. Send a message with "help" in the body to see what the available commands are to use with the majordomo system. If you have to ask such questions you probably shouldn't be running current. Information on the mailing lists is in the handbook. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go to the documentation pages from "http://www.freebsd.org" and read what the handbook has to say about using FreeBSD current first before you do any of the above. Note that you can also get CTM updates for the STABLE version of FreeBSD too (and the ports collection too). c5666305 wrote: > > I would like to know how to subscribe the CTM service.
