I use a suse-linux 7.1.

I may update to a newer one when I have more time.
I normally use tar.gz-files and install it by myself
(I don't know., if suse provides Ocaml-packages).

How to use it?
Can you give me an instruction?

I think I have to use "patch". But whith which options
and how do I use it to pathc the ocaml-sources?

Thanx in Advance,
               Oliver

P.S.: Where is the cvs-tree located (URL) and does it make sense
      genreally to prefer the cvs-distribution? Shouldn't be
      the Ocaml-distribution in tar.gz-format, available from
      the ocaml-pages/inria-ftp be a stable version for all
      platforms?
