I STONGLY suggest you read the handbook. Then, read it again. Then once more for good measure. CVS is NOT hard IF you take the time to READ and LEARN. If however you don't want to take the time to read, learn and understand - then stick with the packages. You are the type of user that will download a tarball, try to install it, then complain that it don't work. Never mind the fact that you have packages and ports. You will be the user that EXPECTS everything you download, to run automagically without an ounce of knowledge of how to use the powerfull OS and it's tools you seemed to have muddled through installing, right at your fingertips. I hate users looking for the shortcuts. -- Best regards, Chris Real programmers don't eat muffins.
