My guess is that neither of you is going to believe this ... cvsup -L2 -h -g cvsup10.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile gave a diferent error to the same command without the "-g". I noticed that the supfile recommended "L 2" rather than "L2", so I tried that. - same error. On a whim i tried moving the "-g" flag and entered: cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup10.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile AND IT WORKED! WOW! :-) Looks like the error messages are simply NOT a guide to what is wrong :-( -- Regards, Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
