Install cvsup-without-gui

# cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui; make install clean
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/fastest_cvsup; make install clean

# cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile /root
# cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile /root

# ee /root/ports-supfile

CHANGE the following

*default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
to
*default host=cvsup5.FreeBSD.org

Save and Quit [ esc a a ]

# ee /root/standard-supfile

CHANGE the following

*default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
to
*default host=cvsup5.FreeBSD.org
