I am following this link which is old back 2004. Does it still hold good? Anyone who have experience working on this subject before, please share your experience. I can see this guide http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/f...ch/145216.html which followed the above link but is in detail. Until now, I am able to execute the following steps: I did a boot from bootable CDROM then network install setup filesystem : root 2G swap 1G var 2G usr 30G home dirs will be in /usr/home Select Kern-Developer, no Xwindows, no ports After reboot, *sysinstall* and install cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_2 from the FTP site. Also install a complete set of sources from the distribution media. 8) Upgrade ports directories *cd /root* c) *cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile .* d) *vi ports-supfile* change mirror name cvsup10.us.FreeBSD.org (It took 4 hours) e) *rehash* f) *cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile* I am following this guide http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/f...ch/145216.html step by step. Now the guide says: g) Create the index with the command *make index* or h) Fetch the index with the command *make fetchindex* * * I have no idea under which folder I need to run this command. Meanwhile, I skipped those steps and have been running *make buildworld*..and further .. Any idea if I need to follow the first or second link?
