Now the CVSUP is excellent and intelligent enough to speedup to 'whatever' version you like. Much more faster than re-downloading the whole GANG. Now to be more accurate, you have to read some docs to figure out which collections you want to cvsup, eg. for all sources, or only crypto stuff, or add www pages, etc.... The difference between one and the othre option is the same difference between the east and wes coasts of USA. so be careful. Tip: DELETE your current CPU, its killing you without it telling you that it is ;-) Greetings ---Tommy Hallgren wrote: > > Hi! > > Can anyone tell me if it is faster to install 2.2.1 sources and cvsup to > 2.2-stable or to clean /usr/src and then cvsup to 2.2-stable? > > My machine is a 486 66MHz and my modem a 33k6 one and I'm currently > running 2.2.1 FreeBSD. > > (Please cc me since I'm not on this list) > > regards, Tommy > > > == MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
