Yes, sure. As described I eventually got around to use a cvs working copy as a base for importing snapshots of FreeBSD code as well. What would be nicer though would be something that could be pointed at the RCS files in the CVS repo to do the same, i.e. skip the working copy step. That's what I was looking for, also because of pure technical interest. But it's clear that from a functional point of view a script achieves the same thing just fine, albeit it's slower and wastes a bit of disk space. -- stefan http://stsp.name PGP Key: 0xF59D25F0
