No clue as to what's going wrong, sorry. But you should probably be using cvsup (or cvsup-without-gui), as IIRC cvsupit is obsolete. (It's not in my ports tree, anyway.) Probably the simplest way to install cvsup-without-gui on a fresh system is to use /stand/sysinstall -> Configure -> Packages. (You can also use the pkg_add command in the command line but I don't remember the invokation offhand.) -Chris _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
