Hi Chuck: To check out something without a script take the following steps. cd to the directory you want cvs to create the module directory below. cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at bumpy.braille.uwo.ca:/usr/src/CVS login password: please cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at bumpy.braille.uwo.ca:/usr/src/CVS co speak_freely The password line is there to show you just type in please as the password. Be careful, that CVS on the /usr/src/CVS is in uppercase. Good luck!
