Thank you very much!

I'm not familiar with cvsup, but if it takes a CVS tag, you
can use "netbsd-2". Today that will give you NetBSD 2.1 RC5,
in time, 2.1, 2.2 RC1, and so on. There's also now a "netbsd-3",
which, if you were to build it today, would identify itself as
"NetBSD 3.0_BETA". There are other tags which you could use to
get a particular RC or release exactly (or for security fixes
only): for example, "netbsd-2-1-RC3" would give you the exact
source for the release candidate you've installed, if you needed
that for some reason, but in general, if you're tracking a branch
to build and update, you would use "netbsd-N", where "N" is the
first digit of the release number.

I just installed 2.1 RC #3 and it works great. Which cvsup tag do I use to
keep this release up to date? Using "." doesn't sound like this branch at
all.I couldn't find the answer on netbsd.org or in google.

I am running i386.
