II. Getting the sources:

- It is recommended to add a new user to your system, to prevent data loss.
If you do not have sufficient rights to do so, remember that everything
you do happens at your own risk. Do never build as root. Don't even think
of it! It will make your system go nuts and eat your cat!
- Login as the desired user.
- Enter the following commands:
you@pc:~$ mkdir $HOME/tuxbox-cvs
you@pc:~$ cd $HOME/tuxbox-cvs
you@pc:~/tuxbox-cvs$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
you@pc:~/tuxbox-cvs$ cvs -danoncvs@cvs.tuxbox.org:/cvs/tuxbox -z3 co -P .
anoncvs@cvs.tuxbox.org's password: anoncvs
Note: There is a dot at the end of the cvs command line
and, yes, it actually belongs to the command.
- Remember that you do not ever have to fetch the complete cvs tree again,
if you don't delete it. You can update the tree by typing:
you@pc:~/tuxbox-cvs$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
you@pc:~/tuxbox-cvs$ cvs -danoncvs@cvs.tuxbox.org:/cvs/tuxbox -z3 up -dP
anoncvs@cvs.tuxbox.org's password: anoncvs
Please do that, even if you have a broadband internet connection, to
reduce our traffic costs. Thank you!
