it doesn't matter. however, it might not be the best idea to edit/use one of the sample supfiles in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ directly, since these files get overridden every time you install world. just copy one of them to a 'safe' location, apply your changes and (if you want to use 'make update' in /usr/src) adjust /etc/make.conf have fun > Thanks again for taking the time to respond. > > Regards, > > Stacey > > > HTH > > Lou > > -- > > Louis LeBlanc [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Fully Funded Hobbyist, KeySlapper Extrordinaire :) > > http://www.keyslapper.org ???? > > > > Cheops' Law: > > Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
