Dear Newbies and Newbets,

I'm trying to update my 4.5 system via cvsup. each time I enter the command 
"cvsup cvs-supfile" I get the message at the bottom of the PINK BOX "Release 
not specified for collection "default" Here is what I changed in the 
cvs-supfile.


Main Source Tree.

src-all  changed  #src-all
src -base uncommented
src -kerberos5
src -kerberosIV
all other src files have # in front of them.

As for the ports collection.
#ports-all
all ports are # out except
ports -base
ports -editors
ports -ftp
ports -irc
ports -japanese
ports -java
ports -net
ports -security
ports -shells
and a few others


as for default host=cvsup.jp.FreeBSD.org
default base=/usr
default prefix=/home/ncvs
default release=cvs
default delete use-rel-suffix

and as for my home directory there is no directory named ncvs, when I try to 
create one I get the message "the templates file 
/usr/local/share/templates/.source/emptydir" doesn't exist!"


all in all, how bad am I screwed!  I've checked the manual and I see nothing 
or (I missed it) about this type of problem... please NOTE that when I enter 
the command cvsup ports-supfile or stable-supfile the systems starts to 
fly...hmmmmm. Getting stressed by this!! I hate running an out of date 
system.. 

I hope to hear from someone out there in BSD land soon.

Sincerely with a Blessing
