They are all stock 2.2.-RELEASE machines with the bin and src distributions
installed.

The steps followed were:

cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup

make all install

Not much to it don't you think?

The only machine it worked on was my home test machine running 2.2.1-RELEASE
that has 48MB RAM, 1.4GIG free, and X-windows installed.
