I DID "RTFM". The more I read the more it confuses me. I HAVE updated to 4-STABLE. My confusion lies in what I've done. I thought I updated my ports, but now I'm not entirely sure cvsup does this. Reading the information got me this far... but i'm new to unix in general and while the handbook and Greg Lehey's book are good, they aren't perfect. I still leave confused. -Sameer --- Christoph Sold <so@server.i-clue.de> wrote: > > > Bsd Newbie wrote: > > > > I tried to update my existing tree... by typing (what was stated in > Greg > > Lehey's book): > > > > cd /usr/src > > cvs update -P -d > > > > [snip] > > > Now, I have no clue what do to. > > [snip] > > > > After reading this, I've become extremely confused about CVS and > CVSUP. > > CVS is to manage various versions of FreeBSD source code.
