Wondering if you could copy the ports base of a FreeBSD server to a CD, then
copy the CD to another FreeBSD server of the same version.
I searched through many docs on CVSUP, but didn't find the answer to this
question. I simply want to streamline the constant building and rebuilding

That's a good point, but I don't make a practice of running NFS, and often
the servers are at different locations - not connected via any network.
So would I be correct in assuming that I would copy the entire contents
beginning at the /usr/ports level and all subdirectories?
Thanks again,

Peter, these things get done by people doing them. That is the tautology

Is there a part of the handbook that explains how to do this? Or is there
a single command line I can use to cvsup the ports base
