Isn't it "-I !"?
And I think that even Oracle renamed their directory to "ocore"
(Oracle core) to avoid beeing erased by eager core removers...
Can you tell me if/how I can add the missing part to my repository? I
only know how to mess up CVS repositories...

I imported a "clean, virgin" tree, did a "cvs co" and began to work
there. At the beginning everything worked, but suddenly it stopped
working. Maybe some "make clean" is guilty. Probably my "tar vendor"
sent a tree that was no "virgin" an longer (Beta#3 from SuSE 6.0, I
prefer kernel sources on CDs over downloading myself).
