Taken from 'man cvsup': base=base This specifies a directory under which cvsup will maintain its bookkeeping files, describing the state of each collec- tion on the client machine. The base directory must already exist; cvsup will not create it. The default base directory is /usr/local/etc/cvsup. prefix=prefix This is the directory under which updated files will be placed. By default, it is the same as base. If it is not an absolute pathname, it is interpreted relative to base. The prefix directory must already exist; cvsup will not create it. The base directory will contain the status files of cvsup. But prefix is the important options since it sets the directory name where the real files will be stored that you want to update. The source code of FreeBSD is usually located in /usr/src , so make sure you have installed the source of 4.11-RELEASE from the CD or from an ftp-server using sysinstall. If cvsup does not find any files to update in the prefix-folder, it will download ALL new files. This is probably what happend to you. Use: *default prefix=/usr and get rid of the date-line, it should work now and why update to an outdated version if there is no need to. Have fun.
