Just a FYI,
Whenever I install a new FreeBSD system I do the following
immediately after installation:
1) Go into sysinstall and go into prepackaged software/Net utilities
and select cvsup-without-gui, install that
2) cd /root
3) cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile .
4) vi ports-supfile change mirror name
5) rehash
6) cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile
7) cd /usr/ports
8) make fetchindex
That updates your ports to the latest versions. Then you can
proceed to installation of software from ports.
The only time you don't do this is if your installing an old
FreeBSD system like a 4.x system. But then you have a lot of
manual work to do anyway.
