Hi All, I've been using FreeBSD 4.7 for about 6 months now. I've failed to understand how to use cvs. Can anyone point me to a web page or other explanation to use cvs to update: 1) The entire ports collection 2) My currently installed ffmpeg 3) 4.7 to 4.8 Attempts to use cvs update yield the following: # cvs update ffmpeg cvs update: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option cvs [update aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable. OK, how the heck does one specify the CVSROOT variable? I know that man cvs should be helpful, but my predominantly Mac background has lobotomized the logical lobe in my brain. Thanks Joe
