Don't mean to be a pain but;
I don't think ISOs EVER belong in CVS.
CVS is "concurrent versions system". There is no way you are going to be
able to manage different VERSIONS of ISOs.
A diff will do you no good. A checkout to get the source code will take
many hours over a 144k IDSL link.
CVS is a SOURCE CODE control system. SOURCE CODE is what belongs in CVS.
As an administrator of CVS for several years I beg you, PLEASE, PLEASE,
PLEASE don't put binaries or worse yet ISOs into CVS.
Thanks for listening,
