I tried using portcheckout on FreeBSD 4.3, and I've never used cvs on
this machine.  So first, it bailed because $CVSROOT was unset; I set
it and made the directories.  Next it died because there was no
INDEX,v in that tree.  How should I set that up?

And how was this supposed to work more smoothly (ie. what did I do
wrong to begin with?)

ps. Any idea how to search freebsd-questions archives these days?
