I'm not having an easy time with cvs. The first step when updating is replacing everything in /usr/src/, correct? I can log in with cvs, but then (with working directory /usr/src/) do I use "cvs update -rRELENG_4" or the checkout command or what? and with whatever command(s) I'm supposed to use, does it replace the files in /usr/src/ or does it put things somewhere else by default? Also, if I wanted to just download everything using the ftp would I replace my /usr/src/ directory with everything in ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/src/? thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
