my solution for problems with 13, were resolved using my /etc/hosts file. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /etc/hosts|grep cvsup 192.168.0.1 cvsup13.us.freebsd.org ... just make it time out. i wonder if there is a mechanism in the fastest_cvsup to make it deliberatly exclude specific cvsup repositories. on a side note... what was the file again to check in your sources, to tell you the version you have just downloaded? cheers, jonathan _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
