After installing FreeBSD6.2 from the ISO image, I figured

sure since the mirror site I picked was the first one in the list
for the United states. It is anoncvs.FreeBSD.org and is obviously
quite popular. cvsup tried all night long to connect and never
got in . The next mirror site for the US is
anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org and it appears to be down. Since all I need
is to update all the sources for FreeBSD6.2, is there a better
choice of sites? I got these 2 site names from the FreeBSD
handbook.
anoncvs is not CVSup. anoncvs.freebsd.org is an anonymous cvs
server.
You can find CVSup mirrors (and other information) here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html
HTH, Nikos
The mirrors are in the form "cvsupN.freebsd.org". I use cvsup12,
cvsup13, cvsup6 from SW Missouri (and my upstream links go through NE
Oklahoma, dunno if they are close to you or not).
It might be worth the time to install /usr/ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup
to help find the fastest/nearest servers for your installation area.
HTH,
