After you've installed the cvsup-bin port, add the following to /etc/make.conf: SUP_UPDATE= yes SUPHOST= cvsup5.FreeBSD.org SUP= /usr/local/bin/cvsup SUPFLAGS= -g -L 2 -P - PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile changing the SUPHOST as appropriate. Then cd /usr/ports, and do "make udpate". http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
