No, that is probably the best way. An older method (which still works) is to use csup/cvsup to download a local copy of the whole CVS repository and then use cvs to checkout /usr/src from this copy. Before the switch to subversion this was the preferred way. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1...@student.uu.se _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
