Mr. de Raadt,

I am not sure if you are the correct person to send this email, so I have
cc'd the bugs address as well.  I found an error on the web site and your
email address is listed under the whois result.

The error is found at the following two URLs, where fetching the initial
source trees via CVS is introduced:

https://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html
https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html

The error is that instead of having users navigate to /usr/src to fetch the
CVS tree, it is indicated to navigate to /usr instead.  It is repeated
later on as well when indicating how to pull the ports tree.

(This results in a permission denied error from cvs, and actually ended up
with me crashing the first attempt at building the system after I
circumvented the permissions by using root.)

Just wanted to ensure the error is fixed for the benefit of other
first-timers like myself.  Thanks!
