Dear folks,
Sorry, but I am still very confused.

Is alpha2 a snapshot of CVS? But the FAQ existed a long time before alpha2.
So is alpha2 a "crippled" version of a CVS snapshot? I am very puzzled.

But the FAQ has existed for a long time. Is what it said wrong before 29
January 2001?

I am still puzzled; alpha2 came out on 29 January 2001; the FAQ is clearly
older. So if I download from CVS, then I have a snapshot of my own. What is
the difference between a CVS snapshot that was downloaded on 29 Jan 2001 and
alpha2? According to the FAQ, the CVS should work if it was downloaded on 29
Jan 2001, but alpha2 doesn't?
I am sorry to be so thick, but I am investing a fair amount of energy here,
and have built an RPM for alpha2. I want to make sure that I am at least
starting off on the right foot.
