    CVS at sourceforge is unstable(may be because of overload) :-/ I've
    tried  it serveral times before can get the source tree. And once i
    got it - i can't build the kernel. I've found several issues:
        a) 'make mrproper' phase
            include/asm is a directory, but it should be a symlink to
            include/asm-i386 
        b) 'make menuconfig' phase
            Missing of some directories like drivers/net/ibm_emac/(for
            example) cause the awk script stuck or even core dumps the
            awk. I passed it by adding these directories from vanilla
            kernel source tree.
       c) 'make whatever(depend/modules/bzImage)' phase
            failed because of lack of some sources/headers, for example:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/cvs/linux-openmosix/linux-openmosix/drivers/hotplug'
make -C i2c fastdep
make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/src/cvs/linux-openmosix/linux-openmosix/drivers/i2c'
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `i2c-algo-sibyte.c', needed by `/usr/src/cvs/linux-openmosix/linux-openmosix/include/linux/modules/i2c-algo-sibyte.ver'.  Stop.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
    What am i doing wrong? If there howto/instruction on openmosix cvs tree building somewhere?
