+## Setting up cvsfs on GNU/Hurd - A step by step process
+
+### Description of cvsfs
+
+cvsfs is a virtual ([[libnetfs]] based) filesystem allowing you to mount
+remotely located CVS modules into your local filesystem.  The version
+controlled files will appear to you just like regular ones.  If you just want
+to view one file (or a small bunch) you furthermore save a lot of network
+bandwidth since only these files will be downloaded.  The usual way to do so
+would be to check out the whole tree and deleting it after using.
+
+## Step by Step process in installing cvsfs
+
+Download and prepare the source files from the CVS repositiory and build them.
+
+    $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/hurdextras co cvsfs
+    $ cd cvsfs/
+    $ autoreconf -i
+    $ ./configure
+    $ make
+    $ make install
+
+Set up the translator and start grazing.
+
+    $ mkdir -p cvsfs_test
+    $ settrans -a cvsfs_test /hurd/cvsfs cvs.sourceforge.net /cvsroot/projectname modulename
+  
+Example to mount the cvsfs module on hurdextras to a local directory.
+
+    $ mkdir cvs.d
+    $ settrans -ac cvs.d/cvsfs /hurd/cvsfs cvs.savannah.nongnu.org sources/hurdextras cvsfs
+
+Now change to that directory and start using ls, emacs, and whatever you feel
+like.  :-)
+
+Happy Hacking.
