This is a great article if you've just installed FreeBSD and are trying to get your feet wet, but I've been searching for an artical on what to do next.
So by default the CDROM is root only. What is the best way to change that?
CVSup and you have the latest edition of the source. For the base system that is great just make buildworld then make installworld
What about the apps I've added. What is the best way to keep those current? Does portupgrade recompile the app everytime?
After cvsup I used to do a
cd/var/db/pkg portupgrade *
and just leave for a day or so... Can I just upgrade the binaries somehow instead of recompiling?

Maybe it'll be a series of articles!
