There are several ways of doing it, depending on the quality of your connection. CTM, cvsup, and some other way, i forget. With cvsup, which i used for the first time yesterday, you set up a few files with specs on what you want updated, then you run cvsup with that file. After than, you will need to reed tutorials on build world. -jonathon On Tue, 2 Nov 1999, Carsten Bertelsen wrote: >Hi, > >I have downloaded most of the files/directories in >ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.3-RELEASE/ >and installed it.
