I can't find the right Fine Manual to Read... I sup'ed over the
CVS tree and would like to check out stable into /usr/src. Occaisionally,
I'll want to look at or integrate things from current. In a few
cases, I'll want to make my own mods and make sure they don't get
trashed.
What do I do?
What I did was look at the cvs info pages (which must be accessed by
file name rather than from the info menu), looked at the cvs man page,
looked at the cvs help info, and looked at the raw rcs log files. From
all of this, I did a:
cvs checkout -r RELENG_2_1_0_BP .
But I have no confidence that it was the right thing to do. In particular,
I couldn't find any file that said what the various tags were.
So, is there any documentation that I could have found but didn't? Did
I give the right command? Is there a better way?
Thanks,
-Dave
P.S. Is there an easyish way to test my builds on a different system?
(Testing the kernel is pretty obvious, but what about everything that
goes with it?)
P.P.S. Now that I've got all this stuff, can I build my own boot disks?
