I read the instructions, then ignored them. I looked at /etc/make.conf, where I found stuff having to do with CVSup. This was a pointer to /usr/share/examples/cvsup, so I went there and had a look. The `CHANGE_THIS' in a few files was clear enough, so: perl -pi~ -e s/CHANGE_THIS/cvsup3.de/ * (I did this by hand first, now that's what I'm doing.) Then: cd /usr/src; make update. While it is useful to have all this information in the handook, the above process is so easy that I humbly suggest that some mention of it be included in the handbook. PS: I'm not sure whether changing the CVSup config files after every `make update' (or is it `make world'?) is the Right Thing to do, but it does offer the advantage that I can take advantage of all the advancements in the config files. (No, I don't like puns :-) OTOH, when they ever change this `CHANGE_THIS' stuff, I'll be bitten... kai -- I like _b_o_t_h kinds of music.
