Hi, Don't know if this is going out to the list or just you, but at least the first CVS command you gave isn't working for me. I think it was cvs -d:pserver:anon ymous at linux-speakup.org:/usr/src/CVS login I get an unknown command ymous at linux-speakup.org error or some such. Then it goes and lists all the valid commands. I've never used CVS before so I have absolutely no idea what's going on. Thanks in advance for any help.
