Yes, it definitely will not work. When files are deleted from the ports

they are missing (since it does not have a baseline), and will not
remove them. Thus, you will encounter ports with "stale" patches that
no longer apply, or apply but break the compilation, etc.
Ahhh, right. So preseuably an install off the CD does something to
give csup a baseline which I am missing (or is csupping the ports on
a tree installed as part of the install process a bad idea too?).
The latter. It would be a nice idea to try and improve this.

There is a FAQ about this on the cvsup webpage on www.polstra.com that
explains in detail.
Thanks, will take a look. Learn something new every day I guess! :)
