CVS help and copying source from CD...



The last couple of days I've been beating my head over something I know is
simple.  I've read the FAQs on the website and have done searches on
Googlegroops to see if anyone had the same problem.  I see similar problems,
but no resolution to help me out.

First of all, what I'm trying to do is copy the source from the CD to my
machine so I can get ready to patch the system using CVS.  From the FAQ:

To copy the CVS tree from the CD to /usr/src (assuming the CD is mounted on
/mnt):

 # cd /mnt; pax -rw CVS Makefile [a-z]* /usr/src

I get an error that it cannot find CVS or Makefile......  I assume a path
problem.  Can you give me the exact steps to get the source?

If I can just get the source from the CD to my box, I can probably finish
the rest of the patching myself.  Thanks for any help.
