If you like a port system a little more up to date and with a little more efford of making it work you souldn't use cvsup. You could download the ports that are included with the release 4.8. This can be downloaded without downloading FreeBSD 4.8. Goto ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD then go to releases and look for, i don't know the exact location, something like ports-4.8.tgz > > Also what is the src-all collection ? How does it differ from ports-all ? src-all gets you the freebsd sources. Thease do come in a stable versions. Aka -> The FreeBSD OS. ports-all gets you the ports source. Aka the extra application you can install. doc-all gets you the documentation.
