two questions,

I have two questions, the first regarding CVSup and
cron jobs, the second about port upgrade.

I've gotten cvsup working correctly. It is following
5_1_RELENG and "." for ports. I want to do a daily
check using crontabs and have created one under root.
However, my daily mail says that it can't find cvsup.
IS this just a simple fix by putting in the full path
or am I missing something?

Second,
  I was following the portupgrade tutorial for
upgrading your installed ports at onlamp. 

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html

I ran "portupgrade -arR" about 9pm on Thursday. It is
now 5pm on Friday and it's STILL running.
 My box isn't the fastest on the block, but it is a
Dual P2 300 (running SMP) with 256 megs of RAM and am
running X , Apache2, and PHP aside from the standard
setup/
 I guess my question is more a concern in that I
inadvertantly installed ALL the ports in the
collection. Did I? Manning portupgrade, the -a says
"upgrade all INSTALLED" with the "r"'s being forward
and backwards recursive, but 20 hours?
