I think the original poster was asking how to use cvsup to sync source tree 
to the exact cut of a rcX.iso..... aka how to reproduce exactly the source 
that was used to generate an official RC.

It's going to be something like

src-all date=2002.01.xx.xx.xx.xx

in the supfile.

That'll allow testing to happen, without needing to pull an entire .iso 
file.  Of course, 'cvsup -> make world' is not the same as 'insert cd, 
install from scratch'
