I suspect that it's grabbing the ports tree for 4.5-RELEASE, which is several months old. I would try cvsup instead, which will grab the current ports tree. You will need to copy over /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile to a work directory, then edit it to meet your needs, such is specifying a cvsup server. Then it's a simple matter of "cvsup ports-supfile". You can use sysinstall, but you will need to change the Release Name under options. It would also be a good idea to get rid of your old ports tree first. > so how is this easier than windows for a newbie :-) Anything that is unfamilar is difficult. But you really can't compare FreeBSD ports to the equivalent under Windows, because there is no equivalent.
