Combination of cluelessness, newbieness to cvs/rccs, and a headcold, all *my* fault. I apologize, and thank you for the help via IRC. I couldn't figure out that you can use cvsup to grab the repo, then use plain 'ol cvs from that. Now i'm well on my way into 'make release'. thanks a lot, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
