<& xfsTemplate,top=>1,side=>1 &> Linux XFS: CVS Download Instructions
The first command  is: 
sh bash ksh etc...:

$ export CVSROOT=':pserver:cvs@oss.sgi.com:/cvs'

csh tcsh....: 

 $ setenv CVSROOT  :pserver:cvs@oss.sgi.com:/cvs
 
You might want to put this in your login script. 

 Then do the command: 

$ cvs login
(the password is "cvs")
This only needs to be done only ONCE, not everytime you access CVS. 

Now grab linux-2.4-xfs. The first time you will want to do something like: 

$ cvs -z3 checkout linux-2.4-xfs

After you have checked the code out, you can use: 

$ cvs -z3 update -d
to update your copy  to the latest version from the CVS server.  and rebuild.

CVS for new users contains links to more documentation.
