Fresh Install From Scratch

OK..Roll up your sleeves. It’s time to get dirty (not as dirty as installing KDE via ports though). So here we go.

I’m just going to talk about post-installation. Yeah, yeah, I’ll get to the install later. Anyway, the first thing I install is cvsup. You can install this via ports:

# cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui && make install clean

I installed cvsup-without-gui because, well, I never actually used just cvsup.

After it installs, it will create a ports-supfile file at

/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

or

/usr/src/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile.

Just copy it to your root folder. Then, just change

*default host=CHANGETHIS.FreeBSD.org

to a cvsup server near you. To find a cvsup server near you, just go to

After that, run cvsup:

# /usr/local/bin/cvsup /root/ports-supfile

Oh yeah, if you are behind a firewall, make sure to open port 5999.

Done!!
