You probably used CVS instead of cvsup. CVS, also known as Concurrent
Version System is a mechanism which allows developers to manage codebase
on which more than one individual is working simultaneously. When some
change is made to a file "foo.bar" managed by a CVS, a file called
"foo.bar,v" is created by the CVS. This file contains all the
information about what changed and who changed it along with the
comments which a developer might have provided during updating the file
"foo.bar". Just to add, using the foo.bar,v file along with foo.bar, any
version of the file may be created that ever existed.
Well, its not always feasible to get hold of the full CD and also its
most of the times not required. I generally use either the bootonly CD
or the floppies to get a box on the network and pull off everything
required over the network. However it is implied that you have a descent
connection or you should arrange for some coffee while you install. :-)
Best of Luck and welcome to the wonderful world where most of the things
are free :-)
Best Regards,
