You mean the host tools? You do know you can download prebuilt versions
from http://sources.redhat.com/anoncvs.html for Windows and linux, or were
you having trouble with those, or are you not on those platforms?

Ah. Don't do that :). You can only use the net stuff also from the CVS
source repository. http://sources.redhat.com/anoncvs.html gives
instructions on how to add those. (loosely, cvs checkout net)

In the packages directory, do a cvs update. Delete any files that have a
question mark or an M beside them. Then do *another* cvs update.

Then check out the net stuff from cvs as described above.
