1. Set the environment variable, CVS_RSH, to ssh.
2. Login to the Linux NFS CVS server:
-# cvs -z 9 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs login
+# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs login
without password if it is your first time.
3. Check out the current Linux 2.2 NFS kernel:
-# cvs -z 9 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co -r linux-2-2-nfsv2 linux-2.2
+a. From the NFS V2 branch:
+
+# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co -r linux-2-2-nfsv2 linux-2.2

+# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co linux-2.2
4. If you don't want to use the current NFS kernel, you can find out
for which kernels the NFS patch is available:
Then generate the kernel patch:
-# cvs -z 9 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs rdiff -ko -u -r linux-2-2-xx -r linux-2-2-xx-nfsv2-xxxxx linux-2.2

If there is no NFS patch for the kernel you are interested in, you have
to make a patch closest to your kernel version and apply it by hand.
