I meant -stable not -current! Sorry! ___________________________________________________ Hi, I have two questions: My 2.1.7 cdrom is missing all files and subdirectories on filesys/src. My 2.1.6 is complete, so I'm assuming that the cdrom is defective. Can someone verify that this is the case and that filesys/src/* is supposed to be included? Next: The whole CVS concept per the manual is not quite sinking in through my thick skull. Is the following correct: I can purchase the cdrom, install sources, and then CVS the sources to make them -current rather than CVSing the whole source(?) I'm assuming that by doing this I'll save a whole ton of 14.4 download time as I would only be downloading a few updates(?) Or am I better of just CVSing from the get go and saving my $ ? Thanks, Dave
