I switched over when spatter died and burka was overwhelmed with new suppers. A lot of necessary information is =only= in the on-line handbook at www.FreeBSD.org; it's nowhere to be found on my 2.1.7 machines. But an evening with Section 17.2 of that handbook, and the man page got me running. I took the easy way out and picked up the static binaries to avoid having to build and deal with Modula-3. It didn't even take me that long, fortunately; all i had to do was go to /usr/ports/net/cvsup, "make install", and convert my supfiles to cvsupfiles. Most of the delay was waiting for modula-3 to finish building (holy shit! i thought emacs was big....). rone -- Ron Echeverri Best Internet Usenet Administration rone@best.net +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ "hindsight" "second-guessing" "handholding" "pie in the sky"
