Maxim,

Thanks for your throrough explanation. That's exactly what I need to find my
feet in FreeBSD world.
I actually heard about cvsup last week (I'm running FreeBSD since 10 days now),
I tried it, but screwed up my system files. As a result I could not comile
my kernel anymore. I was so confused that I reinstalled from scratch @!(#.

So allow me to ask a few more details on this particular cvsup, since I don't
want to create the same mess once again:

> Actually you can use cvsup to update your ports tree to the latest version.
> This is pretty straightforward:
> 1. Install cvsup (cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin ; make install clean).
> 2. Create the following file (ports-supfile):
> *default host=cvsup10.freebsd.org
> *default prefix=/usr
> *default base=/usr
> *default release=cvs tag=.
> *default delete use-rel-suffix
> *default compress
> ports-all
> 3. Connect to the Internet if necessary and run:
> # cvsup -L2 ports-cupfile

===> should that be "ports-supfile" (c -> s). If not, I'm confused.

In a nutshell once again:

I create a file  "/some/directory/ports-supfile",
add the above lines in it. Then call

   # cvsup -L2 /some/directory/ports-supfile

Is that 100 percent save?

Thanks,
Rob.
