Make sure you have the ``doc-all'' and ``www'' collections in it since that's what you're trying to build. Once it's done cvsupping, set your CVSROOT to /home/ncvs (assuming that's where you told it to cvsup to). # setenv CVSROOT "/home/ncvs" Then try again. It should work -- it does here :-) - jim -- /* jim mock - berkeley software design, inc - open source division */ /* documentation manager - jim@FreeBSD.org - jim@luna.osd.bsdi.com */ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
