Try this... Date: Fri, 26 Dec 1997 07:20:30 -0800 Message-ID: <3307.883149630@time.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Just a rough idea I've been playing with, but potentially useful and eliminating lots of beginner questions. pkg_add ftp://freebsd.org/pub/jkh/cvsupit.tgz Will update your cvsup to 15.2 (static, nogui) and interactively configure a cvsupfile for the most commonly chosen options. It won't bring up fancy submenus for all the src-foo and ports-foo sub-options, no, but it will let you specify the coarser grained details (which is I think all that most people want anyway). If somebody feels ambitious enough to create the "custom" menu options for src-* and ports-*, please feel free to look at the package's installation script. They could be added easily by anyone willing to type in all the dialog foo. Jordan
