invoked twice. It is first invoked at the traditional time,
before the filesystems are mounted, with the <option>-F</option>

background checking. It is then invoked a second time, after
the system has completed going multiuser, with the

that can do background checking. Unlike the foreground
checking, the background checking is started asynchronously so
that other system activity can proceed even on the filesystems
that are being checked. Boot-time enabling of this feature is
controlled by the

New release notes: Use net/cvsup, rather than net/cvsup-bin and net/cvsupd-bin. Also note CVSup update to fix S1G bug. I'm breaking a self-imposed rule of not mentioning ports-collection updates in release notes. I'm only doing this because CVSup is a fairly essential part of the FreeBSD Project infrastructure. Save for exceptions such as this, the release notes will continue to document changes to the base system only. Suggested by: mike
