 general procedure for cvsupping and compiling your system is.


When i try to download and install a cvsup-package it says

 pkg_add -r cvsup
Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/Latest/cvsup.tbz:

It seems like I can't connect to the ftp from there either. I can
however download the files using my opera-browser. Where should I put
it to make it work? Now when I just tried putting it in my
user-catalogue this is what was said:

Information for cvsup-without-gui-16.1h:

Comment:
General network file distribution system optimized for CVS (non-GUI version)


Description:
CVSup is a software package for distributing and updating collections
of files across a network.  It can efficiently and accurately mirror
all types of files, including sources, binaries, hard links, symbolic
links, and even device nodes.  CVSup's streaming communication
protocol and multithreaded architecture make it most likely the
fastest mirroring tool in existence today.  In addition to being
a great general-purpose mirroring tool, CVSup includes special
features and optimizations specifically tailored to CVS repositories.

This port of CVSup omits the GUI and does not require X11.  For a
version that includes the GUI, use the net/cvsup port.

WWW: http://www.cvsup.org/




How about the command which
 cvsup?

 which cvsup
/usr/local/bin/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.

Ok, I suppose I already have it then. Horray! I'll get on with it. Thanks a lot.



 HTH,
 Micah

I have mine in /root
It really doesn't matter where you place it because you will specify the 
name on the cvsup command line (something like cvsup /root/my-supfile). 
 The only reason to copy it somewhere is so that you still have the 
original in case something goes wrong.

You don't even need to create one.  You should already have several
sample supfiles in ``/usr/share/examples/cvsup''.

These example supfiles can be used without _any_ change at all.  The
cvsup program can read default options from the example supfiles and a
CVSup server name from a command line option, all in one invocation:

# cvsup -h cvsup.host.address /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile

NOTE: I strongly recommend using stable-supfile for your updates until
you have gained a fair bit of experience with updates through CVSup.

  Is this machine connected to a working internet connection?  The
  dialog you are talking about has noticed that your computer is not
  running in single-user mode, but rather in multi-user mode.
  Typically, systems running multi-user are configured for network and/
  or internet access.
 
  Make sure the machine is connected to the internet.
 
 
 
  It _is_ connected to the internet. It is the machine I'm using
  right now.

 You could try going to /usr/src/ssys, or which ever directory houses
 the function you need and typing 'make install'


But there is nothing in there

 cd /usr/src/ssys
/usr/src/ssys: No such file or directory.
