Thanks for the replies. Sorry I forgot to mention the important information that I'm cvsupping 4.0 Stable, and I used pkg_add and answered the questions, pretty much selecting everything. This is my first time so I just wanted to try it, next time I will try to generate my own cvsup file to use. I was trying to do the make buildworld in the original compile directory, that was messing me up. And I hadn't realized I was out of order either. Thanks a lot for help.
