Hello!

I just downloaded the sources of NetBSD 2.0 via CVS using the commands
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.de.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
cd /usr
cvs login
cvs checkout -rnetbsd-2 -PA src

Then I tried to compile a new kernel. But when doing a "config GENERIC"
in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf I get this error message:
../../../../arch/i386/conf/files.i386:360: cannot open
../../../../compat/aout/files.aout for reading: No such file or
directory

I used Google and found <20040915032935.5D39B3EE7A@ftp.netbsd.org>
which told me
| cvs update: src/sys/compat/aout/files.aout is no longer in the
| repository

So my question now is how to handle this problem. I guess, I could make
the kernel compile by commenting out the line 
include "compat/aout/files.aout"
in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/files.i386

But what is the "official way"? Did I make any mistake in downloading
the sources? Or is this a bug? I searched for the problem on NetBSD's
send-pr, but I didn't find anything fitting to my problem.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Michael
