To see the difference between two files, use diff. See the man page for diff for the gory details. You might also want to keep two sets of sources around: yours and the main source tree. Start with the man page for CVS , and then I suggest this site for further reading: http://www.cvshome.org/ Of course, the handbook also has a section on keeping your sources up to date. Personally, I use cvsup to keep track of my sources. Then again, the only files I'm modifying are the kernel configs.
