Howdy,

I have been working on a cvsup/buildworld "helper" document
located at:

http://www.hiltonbsd.com/articles/buildworld.php

And could sure use some review from you hackers :-)

One of the areas that concerns me most is the instructions 
regarding "adopting" your current src version, before 
cvsup updating to -STABLE. 

http://www.hiltonbsd.com/articles/buildworld.php#ADOPT

Is this step still necessary?, or have advances in the 
cvsup software made this point moot?

And if "adopting" is a necessary step for correct deletions 
of stale files, are my instructions correct and clear?

This is geared towards newer users of cvsup/buildworld, 
and especially the "broadband-less" users, myself included.
Downloading a complete src set over 56k modem is not a 
joyfull thing. 

Thanks in advance,

Stephen Hilton
