+If you wish, you can then check out a local copy of any of the
+available modules. The following is an example of how to grab
+a copy of busybox and tinylogin:
<pre>
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs co -P busybox tinylogin</pre>
This will create a directory called <b>busybox</b> and a directory called
<b>tinylogin</b> in the current directory. These directories contain the
latest and greatest source code for busybox and tinylogin.
+<p>
+I usually create a ~/.cvsrc file with the following things in it, and I
+recommend you should use the same:
+<pre>
+ -z3
+ update -dP
+ rdiff -u
+ diff -ubBwpN
+ checkout -P</pre>
+
<p>
Once you've checked out a copy of the source tree, you can update your
source tree at any time so it is in sync with the latest and greatest by
running the command:
<pre>
-cvs -z3 update -d -P</pre>
+cvs update</pre>
Because you've only been granted anonymous access to the tree, you won't be
able to commit any changes. Changes can be submitted for inclusion by posting
