yep. I know my cvs terminology may be really poor, but since I unpacked the
src from the cd, now I should get only the files that have been changed
since the release of openbsd 3.0. I don't know if cvs download the whole
file, or if it download only the diffs and then patches my files, or if
there's a big difference between 'diffs' and 'patches' or if I'm using
these two words in the wrong way :) however I think I should  have
understood what's going on (i hope :P )
