1 Sorry to start from scratch again... but:
2
3 Section 3 (Using CVS)
4 Although this section itself is ok, it some sort of comes out of the blue.
5 Why the hell whould I want to use CVS? What is CVS anyway? I feel it
6 needs a little introduction like:
7
8 >>> begin
9 It is possible to use a CVS version of the portage tree. This is not
10 recommended for average users, and only required for developers.
11 <<< end
12 Where the hell is this necessary for anyway? A developer will know (s)he
13 needs CVS in order to do something, right? I feel developer information
14 is somehow misplaced on a end-user document. Perhaps we better move it
15 into a page on the wiki.
16
17 By the way, I remember that I first checked out the tree on my
18 /Volumes/Scratch partition which is HFS+. I never experienced any problem
19 with it...
