Hi folks,

FreeBSD 5.2 Release

ctm is completely new to me.  I found it already
installed on my PC

# whereis ctm
ctm: /usr/sbin/ctm /usr/share/man/man1/ctm.1.gz
/usr/src/usr.sbin/ctm

I am trying to configure it.  I read A.4 Using CTM

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.IS...ndbook/ctm.html

but I am still not very clear.

Hereinunder are my questions
1)
Using CTM for the First Time
I haven't had a -RELEASE CD. Where can I download the
'starter delta'. My PC is connected to 3MB broadband.

2)
Using CTM in Daily Life

# df
Filesystem  1K-blocks    Used    Avail Capacity 
Mounted on
/dev/ad4s1a    253678   45854   187530    20%    /
devfs               1       1        0   100%    /dev
/dev/ad4s1e    253678    4812   228572     2%    /tmp
/dev/ad4s1f  36354884 4975506 28470988    15%    /usr
/dev/ad4s1d    253678   59724   173660    26%    /var

Can I establish 'Empty' to /usr/ where has plenty
space???

# mkdir -P /usr/home/ctm/curent_delta
# cd /usr/home/ctm/curent_delta
# ctm -v -v
/path/to/starter_delta/download/folder/src-xxx.*
(why it needs double '-v' here ???)

3)
After step 2) above, now I have the lastest port tree.
 I then subscribe a CTM distribution list. What shall
I do next?

Would the ports tree automatically updated whenever I
start the PC?

Kindly advise. TIA

B.R.
Stephen Liu
