thanks for answering, i will try to learn how to use ctm. But 1 thing really weird is that, when i use cvsup, i can establish connection to the cvsup server. But it doesn't download the src and ports. here is the output of my cvsup
Connecting to cvsup10.freebsd.org Connected to cvsup10.freebsd.org Server software version: SNAP_16_1e Negotiating file attribute support Exchanging collection information Establishing multiplexed-mode data connection Running as i can tell i have successfully make a connection to the cvsup server, but the screen just froze after the "running" line, it doesn't show anything after that. i just wonder what have prevent my computer downloading the src and ports. any ideas? thanks for looking and replying. --- Lowell Gilbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > yew chin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > hell all, i have freebsd 4.7 but due to the > firewall > > configuration in my school, i can't be able to > cvsup. > > if i want to upgrade to 4.8 or update all the > security > > patch? > > what should i need to do? > > is there anyway to update the src and ports > > application without using cvsup? > > thanks for looking and answering. > > The FreeBSD handbook covers doing it with CTM as > well, which should be > accessible via FTP and maybe HTTP.
