That would put you the most current sources for the OS, which may have plenty of transient issues you don't want to have to deal with. I use the following supfile regularly. You can see that I set the default tag to RELENG_5_3 which is basically the original release of 5.3 plus security updates (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html). I do that because these are servers that I try to keep as stable as possible. For a personal system, you may prefer to use RELENG_5 to get something more up to date, without being the bleeding edge of CVS updates. You can also see that I specify a different tag to grab for ports, so that I can get the updates on them. *default host=cvsup12.freebsd.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_3 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all ports-all tag=. Good luck, Tom
