Yes i tried both, checking out with an existing (empty) /usr/src and a
non existing - executing the cvs checkout command both times in /usr.

The checkout just finished and it seems to me that cvs rm -Rf's the src
dir after the checkout because i watched the directory on another
console and noticed the subdirs in src disappearing.
