Hi Ralph,
Well, OK, true. Anyway, the example might contain a US
based server, but the main servers are noted in the
Handbook. And for the US it is a SSH only.
I would assume the text is correct and the example is
not. Please submit a bugreport to the doc team ;)
Note that you can determine which ports you update
with cvsup as well. Would the base system be enough?
Regards,
Manfred
