I am a new FreeBSD user coming from Debian Linux. I think I have finally got the upgrading process done right. I just need to know if I am missing anything or have something configured wrong. I have gotten bits and pieces from this forum, FreeBSD handbook and the examples that came with this installation. The following is the supfile that I use with cvsup (no-gui)
