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