You must use one of methods described here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html extract: The primary services we offer are Anonymous CVS, CVSup, and CTM. Once you have the source, you can use any medium* available to get it to the system in question. So, you can update world without internet access. *) that is any medium providing unix file system characteristics, that is rock ridge and iso9660, raw tar and friends, tar and friends on iso9660, a file-backed UFS on iso9660 and others. But, you have to create the CD with a Unix-like OS. Also, from time to time snapshots of stable become available in CD images. HTH, Nikos
