> What did you download with cvsup? The system sources or the ports tree?
Here's what I have in cvsupfile (I'm fuzzy on what is actually going on). I
just noticed that my default tag=RELENG_4_6. Should that be 4_7? I don't
know where I got my supfile. I'm thinking it was part of the installation.
*default host=cvsup12.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs
*default tag=RELENG_4_6
*default delete use-rel-suffix

My intentions were to NOT get the kernel sources. I was just trying to stay
up to date with the ports that I have installed and any system files that my
get security fixes.

OK
Thanks for the help,
