Please, EDUCATE me.  I am trying the cvsup of 4.2R to 4.3 stable.  I
have blown 4 hours trying to get some of my basic tools with ports and
packages resources.  Looks like my _databaase_ (or yours) is at least
30+ percent out of date or points at bogus servers.

What if any special steps will I need to take to get current ports tree
and related databases to facilitate fast installing.

Can make world update my bind, qmail, procmail, apache if I tell it a
pointer in some makefile ???

Thank you .. lots of good work here .. lots to learn to use it best.

When I do a CVSUPDATE, how do I get a version file that tells me what the
new kernel will be ?

V/r Everett
