If you have a clean 2.1.91, then you can use

http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~geert/bin/linus-2.1.91-vger-19980401.diff.gz

I included the CVS administrative files, so after that you can use CVS to
update the tree. You may have to play a bit with sed to make it work, since I
don't use the anonymous CVS feature at vger.

Greetings,

Geert
