Updating the entire /usr/src tree over CVS and the network can be *VERY*
slow.  If you don't mind the extra disk space, I'd suggest the following:

    - Use CVSup to mirror the entire src repository to /home/ncvs.
    - Check out from /home/ncvs a working copy in /usr/src.

The entire CVS repository, mirrored locally here, takes about 2.6 GB of
disk space:

    # du -sk /home/ncvs
    2671488 /home/ncvs

This is, in my opinion, a small price to pay for being able to update
back and forth, from one version to any other.  But YMMV.
