What am I supposed to do with > these? You've now got the CVS tree. ;-) If this is what you want, well, it means you can now extract _any_ version of the FreeBSD tree, starting with FreeBSD 2. Just use export CVSROOT=/where/it/lives ls -F $CVSROOT CVSROOT/ distrib/ ports/ src/ www/ cvs checkout src This will create a directory named `src', containing the entire source tree. Or: cvs checkout -r RELENG_2_2_1_RELEASE src ...will do about the same, but for FreeBSD 2.2.1R. Or: cd src cvs update -D'1997-01-01' ...will update an existing tree to the state of the art by January 1st. Or: cd /tmp cvs co ls ...will get you a subdirectory named `ls', containing just the source to ls(1). Well, if all this is not what you want, you should read the CVSup documentation about getting a _checked out_ tree. CVSup will then perform the checkout (well, a virtual checkout) on the master machine, and update your tree at home accordingly. (I can't tell you how to do this however, i've got the CVS tree at home and always do local checkouts.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
