You had some extra files, probably .o files, in your source tree. CVSup doesn't remove files it doesn't know about. (How would you like it to remove your kernel config file, for instance?) In CVSup-16.0, there's a nifty "cvsupchk" script to check for extra files. It was contributed by Joseph Koshy. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
