like someone mentioned, it doesnt matter where you put it.
my supfile is in /root, but its just preference.

ive noticed you keep mentioning that you wont be using X, and you
are thinking you need to deinstall your cvsup or something...

you dont have to do that, just use use -g when running cvsup to tell it not to use a gui. for example, cvsup -g -L 2 path/to/supfile

I'm a little confused about using cvsup. I'm referring to 2 resources (The Complete FreeBSD - 4th edition, and www,freebsd.org manual for cvsup). BTW, I currently have FreeBSD 4.8 installed.

Ok, so, I know I need to edit a supfile and I have found all the examples. But it seems to me that it is advisable to put my own edited supfile in a particular directory. What is the best or more common practice?
Maybe in the base directory: i.e., /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ ?


Note that I will not be using the gui. I have not installed X windows (XFree86) as this is to be a server and I no intention of using any gui interface.
