You probably won't be able to find a tarball - there *should* be some way to check out the source tree directly from CVS as of the date that you are interested in - I'm not a CVS user directly, myself, so I don't know what those commands would be off the top of my head - maybe some CVS guru (or at least casual user!) could chime in here? -James > -- > Regards, > Mick > > > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
