(That was always the case when I would CVSUP and buildworld on our servers) You will have access to the newest ports tree through cvsup regardless of what version of FreeBSD you are running. (As long as cvsup can run on it, that is ;) Just make sure you check out the head of the ports tree (The . tag), otherwise you will not get any ports. I ask because I need at LEAST XFree86 4.2.x for my laptop display to work properly with my ATI Radeon Mobility LY on my IBM Thinkpad A30p. And the last time I checked, I think 5.0-RELEASE only offered XFree86 4.1.x. And I'm not fond of compiling my x server by hand. Once you have cvsupped to the latest ports you can just rebuild any packages you need to upgrade through the ports system :) Cheers -- Erik H.

(That was always the case when I would CVSUP and buildworld on our servers) You probably want to be installing 5.1-RELEASE. 5.1-RC was a release candidate, and had a few bugs that were fixed in 5.1-RELEASE. I ask because I need at LEAST XFree86 4.2.x for my laptop display to work properly with my ATI Radeon Mobility LY on my IBM Thinkpad A30p. And the last time I checked, I think 5.0-RELEASE only offered XFree86 4.1.x. And I'm not fond of compiling my x server by hand. The 5.1-RELEASE package set contains XFree86 4.3.0. The 5.0-RELEASE package set contains XFree86 4.2.1. This was mentioned in the release notes for both versions, although that was only because each version contained a more recent version of XFree86 than its predecessor.
