CVS Update

Hi All, I've been using FreeBSD 4.7 for about 6 months now. I've failed to understand how to use cvs. Can anyone point me to a web page or other explanation to use cvs to update: 1) The entire ports collection 2) My currently installed ffmpeg 3) 4.7 to 4.8 Attempts to use cvs update yield the

Re: CVS Update

Jonathan, I've tried a few different variables (host=cvsup1.FreeBSD.org, 2, 3, 4...). I added the port-all tag=. and doc-all tag=. Just to see if this would help... Nada. Here's the latest version: *default host=cvsup17.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs
