First off, the command is cvs co -rRELENG_2_1_0 src (note the lack of a '-'.) You may need to first grab cvs from MIT since I had all kinds of problems with the 2.1R CVS, but the 1.7 or 1.8 CVS from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/cvs-1.8.tar.gz (or 1.7) worked for me. FreeBSD -stable has 1.6.3 in it, which is good enough. The following sequence has worked for me. Your milage may vary. Create my CTM CVS tree. Since you've done this, I'll not comment further on it. cd /some/dir/to/put/this/in cvs -d /home/CVS co -rRELENG2_1_0 src cd src sudo make world I think the important step here may be getting a newer CVS. Oh, and sudo is a locally installed utility that does all the builds/installs as root. Warner
