Hi, portsnap requires that the /usr/ports on a machine was created with portsnap extract, before it will allow you to portsnap update. Suggestion: make the portstree as delivered in 6.0-RELEASE (on the CD etc.) compatible with portsnap extract, so people can use portsnap from a base CD install without having to fetch the portstree through portsnap first. I do realise this might bloat the CD image by about 50 megabytes (because of /var/db/portsnap) but I think it's worth it.
