O/S - System upgrade with CVS

[Joseph Maxwell]

Hello,
Attempting to update my O/S from 4.2 to 4.8

Existing dir structure : ==> /usr/CVSROOT ( created from dist disks w/
initial installation )

I used the following cvsup files to acquire & distribute the files for
the respository, creating /usr/src /usr/ports /usr/doc /usr/packages (MT
Directory)


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

     src-all tag=RELENG_4


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

     ## Ports Collection.
     #
     # The easiest way to get the ports tree is to use the
     "ports-all"
     # mega-collection.  It includes all of the individual
     "ports-*"
     # collections,
     ports-all
     doc-all
     cvs-crypto


The documentation "Complete FreeBSD" 3rd Ed. states that CVSROOT is not
part of the source tree.

     ==> setenv CVSROOT /usr ( hopefully this is the correct path )

I then attempted to do an update

     machine1# cvs update -P -d
     cvs update: in directory .:
     cvs [update aborted]: there is no version here; run 'cvs
     checkout' first
     machine1# cvs checkout
     cvs [checkout aborted]: must specify at least one module or
     directory


So I went ahead with a "make world"  ==>

Could someone guide me over this hump?
