to update any other source modules you requested.

For people which own an OpenBSD CD, you may have seen the CVS/ dirs on there.

People who own an OpenBSD CD may have seen the CVS/ dirs on it.

Actually there is a reason, the CD has a checkout of the OpenBSD src/ module

usable to continue updating from. Using this tree will result in a much

usable to continue updating from. Using this tree will results in a much

shorter initial CVS update time than a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD

faster initial CVS update than a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD

source tree. There are two ways of using the CD, either copy the tree off it,

source tree. There are two ways of using the CD:

or use a union mount with the CD below a writable directory. The former can

<ul>

be accomplished by this command (assuming the CD is mounted on /mnt):

<li>copy the tree off it, (assuming the CD is mounted on /mnt):

<pre>

# cd /mnt; cp -Rp CVS Makefile bin distrib etc games gnu include \

# cd /mnt; cp -Rp CVS Makefile bin distrib etc games gnu \

><bt> kerberosIV lib libexec lkm regress sbin share sys usr.bin usr.sbin /usr/src

> include kerberosIV lib libexec lkm regress sbin share \

> sys usr.bin usr.sbin /usr/src

</pre>

The latter method requires this setup instead:

<li>use a union mount with the CD below a writable directory.

<pre>

# mount -t union -o -b /mnt /usr/Src

# mount -t union -o -b /mnt /usr/src

</pre>

</ul>

After this, /usr/src will be a nice checkout area where all cvs(1) commands

will work OK.
