dont feel bad. i have a hell of a time dealing with this.
finally peter wemm gave me the magic words.
1. using cvs-supfile, sup base, include, share (perhaps sys)
(setting up sup has several steps covered in the sup
documentation and handbook with a little cookbook
recipe like this one.)
2. sup whichever target(s) you want to work on (say bin and sbin)
3. cd /somewhere
4. set the CVSROOT enviroment variable to point at the cvs tree.
the directory that contains: sup, src, and CVSROOT
5. cvs checkout -P <module of interest>
get list of modules with 'cvs checkout -s | more'
