I have cvsup'ed, portsdb -Uu, portupgrade -a I might have forgotten a step, I also tried sysinstall for updating my packages, I was wondering what the heck I am doing wrong? Nothing happens when I try to portupgrade -a this is an older 5.1 release disc also so I assume that there are quite a few updates I need. Please help. Oh also, I have been reading man ports man portupgrade, man cvsup, man cvs, and the freebsd porters handbook, as well as the regular handbook all to no avail, please help. -- format c: any questions?
