Thanks!
Nice tutorial.

I have dowloaded all sources from cvs to my system. Should I delete some old
sources/working dirs/etc from when I've installed software before or from
when I built world and kernel?

I guess they're under /usr/src somewhere.

Just worried about some old files with wrong config that might screw this
up.

Thanks,
Andreas
