If you read the faq at www.cvsup.org/faq.html (#11), however, you will see that on the _first_ cvsup, a slightly different method is recommended to ensure your checkouts file is correct. In your particular case, in place of tag=RELENG_4_10, you should have tag=RELENG_4_10_0_RELEASE list=cvs:RELENG_4_10. Then, when that finishes, change the tag back to tag=RELENG_4_10 and delete the list= portion of the line. Then run cvsup again. Remember, you should do this only on the _first_ cvsup; all subsequent times, ignore this step. As for checking that you properly updated, after building and installing world and kernel, run uname -a. You should see 4.10-RELEASE-p2. If you do, the src patches are installed. (The p2 shows your patch level. Right now, for 4.10, it is p2.) Speaking of src patches, you have only src-all in your supfile. This means your ports, docs, and cvsroot will _not_ be updated. If you intend that, fine, just making sure you know. If not, add ports-all, docs-all, and cvsroot=all to your file. HTH, Stheg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
