Since FreeBSD-4.7 was released, various updates to cvsup have also come out, and the version of the source code available on the servers is cvsup-snap-16.1h.tar.gz nowadays. Of course, the simple way to fix that problem is to update your ports tree... The best way to break this impasse is to install cvsup-without-gui as a precompiled *package*. Now, the 4.7-RELEASE packages are no longer on the ftp sites, having been replaced by packages built for later releases. Unless you've got disks 3 and 4 from the 4.7-RELEASE set which will certainly have that package on it, you're going to have to use a package built for a more recent version of the OS. That's not guaranteed to work, but often does when the OS versions are fairly close together. The cvsup-without-gui package is actually the sort of package that does tend to work when installed in that way. Try this: # pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/cvsup-without-gui.tgz That should let you get your ports tree updated. Note that, just like packages, ports aren't guarranteed to compile properly or work on older versions of the system, although they usually do.

(Mount the CD and 'cd /cdrom/packages/All'.) Use pkg_add to install it. Also, you might want to make sure you're connecting to the internet successfully.
