Set your CVSROOT environment variable to /home/ncvs and then learn how to use cvs :-) Run info cvs.. it will give you an in-depth cvs manual. There's also a book called "Open Source Development with CVS" which isn't too bad either (if you're more interested in hardcopy stuff). - jim -- - jim mock <jim@compete.com> www.compete.com - jim@FreeBSD.org - - senior systems administrator - Compete, Inc. - ph: 1.617.867.7035 - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
