Re: [Mentalunix-developers] MentaLinux Development

[Dustin K. <nul...@ya...>]

Just got an idea.  In order to easily sync
development, we should make use of cvs and somehow use
that. We either need to do something like ls -R from
the developement root, or soemthing like taht to post
the filesystem hierarchy and what not.  As for the
other stuff, we can just upload source.  Ill work on
that stuff tomorrow night.  Got to finish my essay,
and study some more now!

Later,

Dustin
