Yes, you may remove the "source" directory -- i.e. the place where you
ruan the config && make && make install procedures. Once CVS is fully
installed the source directory is no longer necessary.
However you might want to keep it around anyway in case you need to
apply any patches. If you're low on available disk space in that
partition you can either move it to some other location and/or run "make
clean" to remove all the files that can be regenerated by "make".
