Hello,
	I am having some problems with CVSup, I am following the
instructions in "Absolute BSD" - Michael Lucas Chapter 6. I follow the
instructions in the book and everything works up untill "make
installworld". The steps I took are as follows;

- Installed CVSup
# cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup
# make all install clean

- selected supfile
# cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile /usr/src
-edited the supfile to update to the latest STABLE version,
-upgrade all ports and doc's

- executed cvsup
I was not using X and the supfile said to use the
following command and not "cvsp-supfile"
# cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile
The upgrade of the system source code completed without
any errors.

- Building the new FreeBSD
# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
This command completed without any errors

- Updating the kernel
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
no errors

- installing the system
# make installkernel
no errors

I then rebooted the system, everything seemed to work fine.
Once the system rebooted I logged in as root. The book I am reading that
in order to install the rest of the system, I need to drop down to
single-user mode. I ran the following;

# shutdown now

I then went to install the userland programs with the following;

# cd /usr/src
# make installworld

This is where I hit a brick wall. I get the following ouput
- required proxy user is missing
- error code 1
- see /usr/src/UPDATING
I open the said file but am not sure what I am looking for. I went all
the way down to 2002 but found no mention of proxy or user.
I have tried to do the CVSup again and not run
# shutdown now
but I still get the same result. What have I done wrong? Have I left
anything out? I hope that I have provided you with enough information.

Thanks,

Brett
