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 I hate running an out of date system..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.
