-The latest version of CVS is available at
-<a href="http://www.cvshome.org/">Cyclic</a>.
-Versions earlier than 1.6 are not recommended, and may not work.
-If you already have OpenBSD installed, CVS is included.
-</p>
+While you can download the entire source tree from an AnonCVS server,
+you can often save a lot of time and bandwidth by "preloading" your
+source tree with the source files from either the OpenBSD CD or from an
+FTP server.
+This is particularly true if you are running
+<a href="stable.html"><i>-stable</i></a>, as relatively few files change
+between the <i>-release</i> and <i>-stable</i>.
 
 <p>
-People who own an OpenBSD CD may have seen the <i>CVS/</i> dirs on it.
-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:

+To extract the source 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">
-cvs(1)</a> to "<b>checkout</b>" the source repository for you. This is 
-discussed in the <a href="#using">next section</a>.
-</p>
+You can also just use cvs(1) to "<b>checkout</b>" the source repository
+for you. This is discussed in the <a href="#using">next section</a>.
 
 <p>
 After this, <i>/usr/src</i> will be a nice checkout area where all
 <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&amp;sektion=1&amp;format=html">
-cvs(1)</a> commands will work OK.
