Then how do you update the system source, ports tree or doc?
Something with 'make'? 'make update' ?
For ports, I run
portsnap fetch update
For system source, I run
csup /usr/share/examples/releng9-supfile
though I subsequently moved the releng9-supfile to /myconfig .

That's the file I was looking for, I was not familiar with that particular file name.
It's easy to find a needle in the haystack when somebody points it out to me! My thanks!

Good point. I had to make the little modification in the stable-supfile to accommodate RELENG_9 .
Since my current efforts are directed toward a working FreeBSD 9.0 system, I am not currently doing anything with 10-current.
