    Ordinarily, CVSUp is one of the few packaged binaries I install on my
    system, since there's a chicken and egg problem. I usually build from
    source after updating the source, but I don't start that way. Even if
    you were to build CVSUp from source, I wouldn't recommend the above
    procedure, unless you plan to use the ports/packages system but didn't
    mention that in your post.

    Assuming you have an internet connection, the simplest way to install
    CVSUp is (line 2 may wrap):

    1. su
    2. pkg_add ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/net/cvsup-without-gui-16.1h.tbz

    I know you say you're running 5.1. The 5.1 packages are no longer
    maintained, at least on the master site. The above works for me,
    though I'm using 5.2.1-RELEASE on this machine, and I think it will
    work for you, too. You don't need to install Modula-3 to install or
    run CVSUp, only to build it.

    If you have the ports tree installed and you want to build from source,
    you can alternatively do this, but it will take much longer:

    1. su
    2. cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui
    3. make install clean

    It will automatically build dependencies (ezm3 etc.)

    If you want to build from source but don't want to use the ports tree,
    you are not a newbie :)
