	I do not see how you can arrive at this, based on the 
documentation.  The way Greg wrote it, it seems pretty clear:

		1.  If you're doing a checkout, it needs to be done in /usr
		2.  If you're doing an update, it needs to be done in /usr/src

	How can you derive this from the documentation?


	If you can somehow derive this set of statements from the 
documentation, I would like to understand how.  If doing so requires 
knowledge of CVS, then the documentation is wrong -- no working 
knowledge of CVS should be assumed, unless you're going to say that 
using -CURRENT is off limits unless you are a CVS expert.

	In that case, would someone *PLEASE* commit the damn hme/qfe 
changes to -REL, so that people who just want to use the bloody thing 
don't have to update to -CURRENT in order to do it!!!
