gentlemen: What is odd about this is that I did a trial run on updating a few nights ago, running pkg_add -r cvsupit.tgz, which I had in my home directory, and it ran fine. Downloaded a BUNCH of stuff, and I ran make world and got some errors (due to lack of space in /usr). I did try it again later but aborted it due to other reasons Now when I run cvsup it wont run due to this error. hummph. How can I upgrade my install w/o aquiring another cd set??? I dont want to reinstall and start over. I'd rather do it the cvsup way which looks rather cool. --karl --- Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net> wrote: > Karl, > > Your system must have a hostname and it must be > resolvable from a > remote system for cvsup to work. > > Are you running DHCP or do you have a static > address?
