This is rather a nubee question..

I am used to OBSD and how to update my sources...but seem to be missing something with FREEBSD.

I installed 5.3 release and all I want to do now is update the source files on the disk to current.


Very easy, all explained in the handbook. If on Intel, cvsup is your friend. Are you sure you'll want to install CURRENT, by the way? - In the FreeBSD context CURRENT is more like development alpha version, STABLE branch is more like beta, and RELENG branches are the bug and security fix branches of the original release. All explained in the handbook.

Does someone have a web page that can show these steps?

http://www.freebsd.org/handbook, See chapter 19 and appendix A.

thanks. I am going to track STABLE...you are right. I am installing cvsup without GUI and then I will try to set this up...
