OK, this is getting you FreeBSD-CURRENT, which I doubt is what you want.
Also, cvsup.internat.freebsd.org is quite a distance away from the UK,
according to traceroute. Try the following:
*default host=cvsup.uk.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
(The crypto stuff was merged into src-all sometime after 4.0)
This will get you 4.5-PRERELEASE right now, or 4.5-STABLE after it is
released.
You don't need to run cvs after this, but just FYI:
setenv CVSROOT /home/cvs
is the correct syntax for csh IIRC (it's been over 15 years since I
last used csh)
Here's the info from the handbook:
http://www.uk.freebsd.org/handbook/cvsup.html
And this is what to do now:
http://www.uk.freebsd.org/handbook/makeworld.html
(Print this one out, since you'll be dropping to single user)
Good luck!
