Ah, well I use the ports for all of my installations, and actually cvsup does not update the source on you HD for the ports, it updates Makefiles etc. when you install/upgrade a port it then downloads the source and dependant files and builds them on your computer. The way that I did it was to set up the ports supfile the way I wanted it, then ran cvsup using that supfile and it built my ports directories. Now once a week I cvsup the ports and run portupgrade to keep things up to date.

This is a big draw to me as I was told I could just install all 4 CDs, then whenever a port changed I would just get the changed files via CVS, instead of the whole thing. This would be nice since I'm on a modem. Is there somewhere to download the other CDs in ISO format until I can buy them? I have access to broadband, just not at home. > > Preston > -- Lute ************************ * Power Provided * * by * * FreeBSD 5.1 RELEASE * ************************
