- People who own an OpenBSD CD may have seen the <i>CVS/</i> dirs on it.
+ To extract the source tree from the CD to <i>/usr/src</i> (assuming the CD is
- Actually there is a reason, the CD has a checkout of the OpenBSD <b>src</b>
- module usable to continue updating from.  Using this tree will result in a much
- faster initial CVS update than a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD
- source tree.  There are two ways of using the CD:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>To copy the CVS tree from the CD to <i>/usr/src</i> (assuming the CD is
  mounted on /mnt):
  <pre>
-         # <b>cd /mnt; pax -rw CVS Makefile [a-z]* /usr/src</b>
+     # <b>cd /usr/src; tar xzf /mnt/src.tar.gz</b>
  </pre>
- <li>Use a union mount (see <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mount_union&amp;apropos=0&amp;sektion=8&amp;manpath=OpenBSD+Current&amp;format=html">mount_union(8)</a>)
- with the CD below a writable directory. (This can be used when only compiling from the tree.)
+ The source files for download from the FTP servers are separated into two
+ files to minimize the time required to download for those wishing to work
+ with only one part of the tree.  The two files are <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt>,
+ which contains the files used to create the kernel, and <tt>src.tar.gz</tt>
+ which contains all the other "userland" utilties.
+ In general, however, you will usually want both of them installed.
+ Assuming the downloaded files, <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> and
+ <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> are in <tt>/usr</tt>:
  <pre>
-         # <b>mount -t union -o -b /mnt /usr/src</b>
+     # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
+     # <b>tar xzf ../sys.tar.gz</b>
+     # <b>tar xzf ../src.sys.gz</b>
  </pre>
- </ul>
  <p>
- For people who don't have a CD on hand, you can use <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&amp;sektion=1&amp;format=html">
+ You can also just use cvs(1) to "<b>checkout</b>" the source repository
- cvs(1)</a> to "<b>checkout</b>" the source repository for you. This is
