Even easier is to set SUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile and SUPHOST=cvsup.ca.FreeBSD.org in /etc/make.conf, then cd to /usr/src and do "make update". If it can't find cvsup, you may want to set "SUP=/path/to/cvsup" in /etc/make.conf as well. <mike > On Tue, May 22, 2001 at 06:59:14AM -0400, Peter Kok wrote: > > Tks David Banning > > > > I tried /stand/sysinstall > > > > I also tried ports /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin > > It also got error even I updated my port pkg_install 42upgrade.tgz > > > > Please teach me and let me know how do I install > > and > > where is the ftp server > > > > tks > > > > regards > > Peter > > > > > > >From: David Banning <sky_tracker@yahoo.com> > > >Reply-To: David Banning <david@banning.com> > > >To: Peter Kok <cckok00@hotmail.com> > > >CC: "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> > > >Subject: Re: upgrade problem > > >Date: Tue, 22 May 2001 02:45:24 +0000 > > > > > >On Mon, May 21, 2001 at 12:13:56PM -0400, Peter Kok wrote: > > > > Hi all > > > > > > > > I got the following message when I upgrade from 4.1 > > > > I don't have CD and how do I do it?
