Now that I have gotten an answer on how to use CTM (and after having re-read the appropriate part of the handbook) I have decided that cvsup is in fact better suited to fit my needs. The original idea why I wanted to use CTM was that I wanted to update a machine that is not always connect to our network. So I thought I'd get the CTM deltas in the mail, copy them to the other machine, and that's it. But that's actually not the best way: If I want to update the machine that does not normally have net connection, I can simply disconnect one computer and then connect that machine for the time of upgrading. I can then either run cvsup or mount the source tree of my main-FreeBSD-system which was already updated via cvsup. It works that simple ;-) Well, I think cvsup is really great and I don't see a reason why I should not use it. I really like it and I'm sure that it'll be helpful to me in the future.
