I would really rather defer to someone more savvy than I am with the cvs matter. I got mine working, but in my case the recommended steps worked as advertised - if they had not, I would have been lost!!! I will outline what I did and maybe someone else can be of more help to you than I can. 1. download the files "checkout" and "README.cvs" from the speakup ftp site. 2. give "checkout" execute permissions. 3. become superuser and type "./checkout" 4. (in my case) discover that you are missing the "cvs" package and 4-a. scream for help immediately, then 4-b. read the howto called "cvs-rcs", then 4-c get and install cvs v1.11, then 4-d. repeat step 3 above. 5. checkout runs cvs which complains about no cvsroot as you reported, so as the README says, I pressed enter and it immediately signed onto the speakup site and asked me for the password. When I said "please" it ran like clockwork. If nothing in my list helps, I am sure someone here will give you a hand. Chuck.
