    I have recently decided to move over to freeBSD. I have cvsup'ed, portsdb -Uu, portupgrade -a

    I might have forgotten a step, I also tried sysinstall for updating my packages, I was wondering what the

    heck I am doing wrong? Nothing happens when I try to portupgrade -a this is an older 5.1 release disc also

    so I assume that there are quite a few updates I need. Please help. Oh also, I have been reading man ports

    man portupgrade, man cvsup, man cvs, and the freebsd porters handbook, as well as the regular handbook

    all to no avail, please help.

format c: any questions?
