using cvsup

[Curtis Vaughan]

I'm a little confused about using cvsup.  I'm referring to 2 resources 
(The Complete FreeBSD - 4th edition, and www,freebsd.org manual for 
cvsup).  BTW, I currently have FreeBSD 4.8 installed.

Ok, so, I know I need to edit a supfile and I have found all the 
examples. But it seems to me that it is advisable to put my own edited 
supfile in a particular directory.  What is the best or more common 
practice?
Maybe in the base directory: i.e.,  /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ ?

Note that I will not be using the gui.  I have not installed X windows 
(XFree86) as this is to be a server and I no intention of using any gui 
interface.
