And, thanks to all who responded. It seems to be updating correctly now. Soon I'll know if that fixes my problems with make in the ports directories. cvsup wasn't not installed. So, I had to find it and use pkg_add. In the process, I _think_ I'm beginning to better see the differences between ports and packages. Once I got cvsup installed, it was just a matter of following your advice and the example files (along with the handbook). The only thing that I really changed from your suggestion was the tag=RELENG_4. I changed mine to tag=RELENG_4_4. I hope that was OK. And, btw, I'm not using X on FreeBSD. I use it on Linux-Mandrake. But, I wanted to keep the FreeBSD box free of extraneous software. So, assuming that this works out, if I want to put it in a cron, how often should I run it? And, if this updates the sources, do I need to follow it up with a pkg_update or something to update the binaries.
