FreeBSD fixer.com 5.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 22 = 14:47:02 GMT 2004 root@:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/VILLATV i386 I am having a problem with cvsup version 16. I used it about a month ao = with no problem. I have now tried it several times with no success. I = even reinstalled the entire operating system twice.=20 I activate my modum and type cvsup supfile. The box appears and I click = the go tab. It goes wild for about 30 to 40 seconds downloading 40 to 50 = files. This is okay. After that, it just dies. This is the problem. I = don't understand why it dies. I have an external modem and after it dies, sometimes the transfer = lights on the modum blink and sometimes theres no light at all. After it = dies, it will go until it times out (15 to 20 minutes). I have FreeBSD = 5.1. I installed the cvsup package off the 1st cdrom. I created 'cvsup' = in the /usr/local/etc directory. I put my supfile under cvsup. I have = csh, so I typed 'setenv CVS ROOT=3D/usr/local/etc/cvsup', which seems to = work. The supfile I use is=20 *default host=3Dcvsup5.freebsd.org *default prefix=3D/usr *default base=3D/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default tag-. *default release=3Dcvs *default delete use-rel-suffix compress ports-all I don't remember my first supfile, I thinks it like the above. Also I = learned that if something in the supfile isn't perfect, it won't work. = Please analyze and let me know whats wrong. Thanks in advance. greg service@fixer.com
