Hi

Still trying to work this one out.

I'd like to update kernel sources on my 1.6.1 box using anonymous CVS.  
Read the excellent man pages and the FAQs.  Can't understand a single 
word of it.  I've never used a CVS system and so need some help.

When I update from CVS do I 'cd' to somewhere on my own system before 
I get started ?  Other one is... the docs say something about 
exporting something to somewhere in order to use CVS.  No clue what 
that means.  So, after I export something I then do an update command.  
Would this be something like 'checkout CVS' or something ?

I know that there is a .cvs file somewhere which might have 
configuration options but can't find that.  Presumably this is created 
when I connect to the CVS repository.

Thanks



Richard
