struggling with ports, packages, cvsup

[T P]

I have figured out what was wrong with my /etc/hosts file and I have
CVSup running now.

Here is my supfile constructed following the example in the handbook:

*default tag=.
*default host=cvsup3.us.FreeBSD.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/var/db
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress

src-all

I also have a refuse file as in the handbook to avoid downloading
every language.

I will be sure to ask again if I run into any more problems.  Thank
you for your help!
