You need to install it first. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html here's my supfile: *default host=cvsup12.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_8 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all save it to a file called supfile and run it with cvsup -g -L 2 supfile Tim
