With a little information it is so much easier to help you :) here is a sample cvsup file that will get you 5_STABLE *default host=cvsup6.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all in /etc/make.conf you need a line that points to the above file, here is the one in mine: SUPFILE= /usr/local/etc/cvsup/stable-supfile I recomend you install sysutils/fastest_cvsup then add this to /etc/make.conf as well: SUPHOST= `/usr/local/bin/fastest_cvsup -Qc us` The above will automatically cycle through the cvservers untill it finds one that is available when you run cvsup then cd /usr/src and run "make update" this will get you the 5_STABLE sources. From that point read carefully http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html section 20.4.1 The Canonical Way to Update Your System Because this is your first time you should expect to loose everything on your system and have taken appropriate precautions ie backing up anything you cant live without. -Mike > > If you can help me that would be nice, else no worries :) > > Cheers, > Deepak Naidu > > > "Michael C.
