Now when I just tried putting it in my > user-catalogue this is what was said: It looks like you're running FreeBSD 5.3. Trying to get the latest source may be more than you want to get into at this time (though you should do it soon). If you have your FreeBSD 5.3 cds around still, you can get the source by doing the following: * login as root or su - * run sysinstall * Select 'configure' -> 'distributions' -> 'src' -> 'all' -> 'cd/dvd' If you don't have the install cds you'll probably have to upgrade to FreeBSD 5.4.

Maybe this is pkg_add's way of saying that cvsup is already installed? What doesn pkg_info cvsup\* tell you? How about the command "which cvsup"? If you get output from both of these commands you already have cvsup and can go about following the links I sent earlier to get the source and upgrade your system. HTH, Micah
