A very nice worklist, except for the section above. I have two objections to it. The first is aesthetic, since you could simply replace all those steps by typing: # pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui at the root shell prompt. The second is a functional objection: it's a waste of time to install cvsup-without-gui when csup(1) is in the base system (and has been since 6.1-RELEASE or there abouts.) A typical command to download the contents of /usr/src changes from: # cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.XX.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile to # csup -L 2 -h cvsup.XX.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile (where XX is the two letter ISO code for the country where you live (or 'uk')) Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
