In an attempt to use the CD-ROM to save HD space,
and after a few false starts ...

Well, CTM works just fine.
Here is the sequence ....

1) Mount the 2.15 CD ROM #2 (live file system)
   For simplicity, I'll choose /mnt.

2) Create your working source tree
   Because "make world" REQUIRES it :-( I'll use /usr/src.

3) Link the cdrom to this directory.
   cd /usr/src
   lndir /mnt/usr/src

And now for the MAGIC that I couldn't talk Jordan into putting on the CD.

4) Create the seed status file.
   cat >.ctm_status <<EOF
   src-2.1 0147
   EOF

5) You are now at revision 147.

To update,

6) Make another directory to hold the ctm patch files.
   mkdir /usr/ctm_patches

7) Populate the directory (Ftp from ftp.freebsd.org ?)
   get src-2.1-0148.gz
   get src-2.1-0149.gz
   mget src-2.1-015*

8) Apply the patches
   cd /usr/src
   ctm /usr/ctm_patches/*

9) You are now at revision 159

10) Make a new system
    make world

Since you will want to stay up with future changes, subscribe to the
