Yes. You can use the provided CVS tree as a seed. Your first transfer will be big, to bring you from CD press to current, but after that it should drop off. > Will CVSup check each file on my local tree to see if files > need to be updated? Or, can I specify a date and CVSup > will update all files changed from that date (I could use > the date of 2 days before the CVS tree I have...)? Unless you state otherwise, CVSup checks the indicated distributions for changes, and if there are any, it brings them up to sync with the server. Do remember that unlike sup, CVSup transfers diffs instead of full files, so the actual data transferred is rather small. That's why we went with cvsup in the first place. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
