CVS tree takes an extra 250M of hard disk. That's still $50 worth of hard disk, but you have to buy it in $200-$300 chunks, which can be hard for people. Or run the risk of the used market... That said, I recently bought more disk (a Jaz drive), and have been very happy with CTM of CVS. I've not had any make worlds fail since I've moved over to that which weren't the result of disk full failures. If you are going to play the -current game, you need at least 2.0G of disk available. 700M for CVS + source + obj and 1.3 to do your real work on :-) IMHO, of course. One thing I really *LIKE* about OpenBSD's anoncvs is that you can grab a *SUBSET* of the tree and not have to pay the price of having both the CVS tree and the whole source tree online. If someone were really upset about the current build situation, purhaps their energies might be better spent setting up an experimental anoncvs server fed off a ctm maintained CVS tree so that the FreeBSD community might benefit from that. Just some random thoughts... Warner
