I've been cvsup'ing the cvs files, not the sources directly. Means I need an extra 600MB laying around. But it leaves my /usr/src intact until I decide to change it. Meanwhile I can watch changes to -stable and -current using my local /home/ncvs. The other fun thing about having my own mirror of cvs is that I can back out the changes in my /usr/src if needed. Had to do that Once Upon A Time for the de0 driver. Old one worked, new one didn't. Seat-of-the-pants unscientific benchmark indicated cvsup update of /home/ncvs took about the same amount of time as same for /usr/src and /usr/ports combinded. Over a 28.8k modem. Saw egcs come thru via CTM recently. Will wait a few more days before cvsup'ing home system as the cvsup servers get busy when a biggie like that comes thru. Would update via CTM if I could get enough of the crypto stuff to "make release". Subscribe to the CTM of cvs-cur at work as I've not been able to cvsup thru the company firewall. Ports around 5999 are blocked. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
