You need to install the cvsup package before you can go through it. First pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui (if you are just on a dumb terminal as I am on) or pkg_add cvsup
After it completes, then copy the supfiles from /usr/share/example/supfile to you home (I mean the root's home) or anywhere you feel convinient to access. Open the stable supfile ( if you want to track stable) in your favourite text editor ( mine is vi, so I do vi stable-supfile). Read through the file, its well documented. Change the hostname for the cvsup server (refer to the handbook for cvsup locations, I generally use cvsup2.freebsd.org or cvsup6.freebsd.org). Save the file and exit (in my case its :wq). Then run the cvsup with the stable-supfile as argument. I do is: cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile If you want to schedule it as a cron job as I do then cvsup -g -L 1 stable-supfile Let it complete. Now you have an updated source tree. Refer to the make world section of the handbook and remake the whole tree (as I always do on a freshly installed system) or just the kernel (your choice). You should be on track. Refer to the handbook and man cvsup for further details. And btw its not cvup its cvsup :-). Ket us know if you again got stuck up. Regards S.
