Hi,

Thanks for the quick response.  As I said, I did search the archives and
found nothing enlightening -- just useless snippets of e-mail
conversations that did not answer my questions.  Hence my e-mail to
-hackers at this time.  man cvs did not answer my questions either.  I
wasn't sure which list to hit since (just maybe) I might have found a bug
in make release which might have been of interest to -current.  But in any
case I'll certainly restrict my e-mails to one or the other in the future.

I do have a complete /usr/src tree on my machine since I am running
-current which I did a successful make world on just yesterday.  Are
/usr/src and /usr/obj what you mean by a CVS repository?  If so do I set
CVSROOT to /usr/src or /usr/obj or /usr or what?  If these are not a CVS
repository then how do I proceed? How do I get my hands on a CVS
repository?  My goal is make my own installable snapshot of -current as of
today (more or less).  As per the instructions in
/usr/src/release/Makefile I already have the vn pseudo-device in my
kernel.

Thanks for any help you're willing to give,

Tom
