I did, but I think I got more from man cvs which I know nothing
about. I would
like to confirm that with this configuration if I do a
# cvs -d /home/ncvs checkout src
from the /usr/src directory, I will have updated sources to be able to
do
a make world? I tried it and it seems to work, but it checks out
everything.
Is that what I want to do or do I want only the changes?
Once I understand this, make release is not a problem. It will be just
like before
Thanks.
